BERESHEET LASHALOM RAINBOW THEATRE

26/2/2012

The Beresheet LaShalom Theatre and Lauda Ensemble of Jezreel Valley

present


The Seasons of Adolescence

Allegory of the long journey into the secrets, emotions and dilemmas of the children of ours and every generation, represented through music, theater and dance by young people of the Galilee: from Nazareth to Safed, from the border with Lebanon to the border with Jordan.

The Teatro Arcobaleno - Rainbow Theatre of Beresheet LaShalom and the "Lauda" ensemble are comprised of children aged 14-18 from the kibbuzim, the moshavim and the Arab villages and towns of Northern Israel. Together they created a petite insightful poem accompanied by pieces of Renaissance, Baroque and ethnic music from Frescobaldi to Bach, Vivaldi to the Rahbani brothers - played live by those that Zubin Meta forms as future musicians of the Israel Philharmonic and performed by teenagers who perceive dialogue, positivity and respect for each other as a way of life.

Dr. Marina Minkin, artistic director of Lauda, Ms. Gili Jaeger, the group coordinator, and Dr. Angelica E. Calò Livné, the director of the Teatro Arcobaleno, have vast experience in music, theater and above all education.

'LAUDA'
 
The Jezreel Valley Youth Ensemble
Artistic Director: Dr. Marina Minkin

The multicultural youth ensemble 'Lauda' was founded at the Jezreel Valley Art Center 4 years ago, and it is performing in front of school students, in concerts and in various cultural events.

In September 2007, the center's ensemble represented Israel in the context of musical and cultural youth meetings that took place in Weimar, Germany.
The ensemble's name LAUDA comes from Italian songs of praise, which were popular during Renaissance, and is reminiscent of the Latin term to indicate a high level of achievement. This group endorses main concepts that are at the core of the Jezreel Valley Art Center activities, such as:

  • A deep understanding of the early music heritage that constitutes a source of present musical and cultural inspirations.

  • The unique experience of performing various musical styles from different cultures, through a process of learning their folklore traditions.

  • Developing the ability to create and perform modern music that absorbs inspiration from the past and the present, and thus sowing the seeds of a musical future

There are 12 participants in the ensemble, including male and female vocalists, wind instrumentalists (flutes, recorders, oboes), western and eastern-style string instrument players, traditional Arabic instrumentalists (oud, darbuka), and a harpsichordist. The singers and the musicians in the ensemble Jews and Arabs, Muslims and Christians express in a most beautiful way the unique and diverse Israeli culture of the Jezreel Valley Art Center.

Beresheet at
Saint John's Arab School of Acre

כי מחשבה בוראת מציאות
Because thought makes reality
Perche' il pensiero crea realta'
لان الأفكار تخلق الحقيقة




Today we had a marvellous experience, we performed Beresheet at the Arab School in Acre in front of an audience of 300 mixed denomination Arab youngsters.

I had the privilege of meeting Father Quirico Calella through my friend Stefano Roversi. Stefano was serving with UNIFIL in Lebanon and put us in contact.

I discovered that besides being a delightful and courageous person, Father Quirico, of the Order of Franciscans, is the director of one of the best Arab schools in Israel: the Holy Land School of Acre.

Approximately 600 students from kindergarten to high school, Christians and Muslims.

After we met many times at engagements at the Italian Embassy, I went to visit him with Maria Grazia Balbiano before Christmas and she launched the idea that he invite Beresheet to be performed at his school.

Today, at last, this thought also came true.

This evening I received an extraordinary email from a young girl who attended the show. . .

more soon,
Angelica

MIDEAST: ROME PROTAGONIST IN DIALOGUE WITH BERESHEET SHOW

(ANSAmed) - ROME, JANUARY 22 - A work of non-fiction to address music, mime and dance, interpreted by 80 Israeli and Jordanian high school students to tell the story of suffering in conflicts and the hope for peace in the Middle East. These are the elements that come together in the show Beresheet ('In Principlé), which Thursday January 28 at 5.30pm, will bring youths from the school of Eilat and Aqaba to the Santa Chiara parish in Rome, expressing the essence of the path of encounters and dialogue during the 'Aqaba-Eilat Project: One More Step Towards Peace'. A project desired by the European Union and undertaken by the Italian Institute for University Cooperation, the NGO which, together with the collaboration of Angelica Edna Calò Livné, has managed to bring in recent years the show to Italy, Spain, Switzerland and Israel. Beginning in 2001, in Upper Galilee, where the offices of the educator and director Calò Livné are located, Beresheet LaShalom, the theatrical representation has the objective of creating dialogues and encounters for youths from different religions and backgrounds through the arts. "I hope that", Angelica Edna Calò Livné said, "these kids which have learned to speak together, start down a path of closer relations and exchange that will not be interrupted when the project is over. I imagine that tomorrow there will be doctors capable of working on the same staff, businessmen that bring important projects forward together, prominent women and men who will change things because they are aware that there are people just like them on the other side". At the end of the theatrical production played by the students of Sister Rosary in Aqaba and Izchak Rabin in Eilat there will be a meeting with representatives from the Roman Islamic and Jewish communities with volunteers from the Community of Sant'Egidio.

  Aqaba - Eilat: “Cities in the Mirror”
“Beresheet” performance at Eilat
NEWS FROM THE GARIN MORIAH EXPERIENCE

On November 8th, we performed “Beresheet” in Eilat, the southern most point in Israel.

Along with the Garin Moriah members, 5 teens from the Arcobaleno travelled with us. We started our journey at 4 am from Mount Meron Field School in the Galilee, towards Eilat, and after 8 hours of driving we got to Matnas Sachmon (Sachmon Community Center) where we were to perform and started to prepare.

The show was a part of the Aqaba – Eilat: “Two Cities in the Mirror” program, which deals with communicating and progress towards peace. It was performed for 40 teens from Aqaba, Jordan and 40 teens from Eilat, Israel.

Edna Angelica Calò Livné, who saved the program from failure, had decided to bring us to perform in front of the teens (who had not met for 6 months) to plant hope in them to continue with the program.

The show was very successful, and in it we also combined a group of Aqaba teens who danced the Debka and helped us to lead the audience to dance.

After the show the 80 teens were divided into 5 groups: dancing, theatre, singing, journalism and art. In each group were 2 of the Garin members who facilitated and inspired the teens to work on their grand finale project set to take place in January 2010.

The final project’s theme will be co-existence and tolerance, and will perform in both Aqaba and Eilat. The work in the various groups was great, and was fascinating to watch the Jordanian and Israeli teens collaborate and connect.

After the special activity at Rabin High School in Eilat, we went to a fun night in the never-sleeping city of Eilat, and stayed at the Eilat Field School Hostel. The following day we continued our tour on the promenade and at the beach, and at noon we set out to drive north again.

In mid-journey we stopped for a delicious lunch and a fun visit at Ohad’s house (one of the Garin members), in Kibbutz Bet Nir, and after that we continued to the Galilee.

In summary, we really enjoyed the work with the teens, we experienced a lot of teaching practice, and were charmed by the amazing teens who want to change the public’s consciousness and the reality.

We hope that we will be able to see the grand finale show of the project, performed by the Jordanian and Israeli teens, and we hope to have inspired them to continue with the project.

Happy and excited, until next time – Ohad on behalf of Garin “Moriah”.

MORE COMING. . .
