The Dybbuk 1937-2017 | Film and Live Performance
2017-11-22 20:30 - 22:00 | YMCA THEATER, King David 26, Jerusalem, Israel
Tickets: https://www.eventer.co.il/dybbuk

Jerusalem International YMCA, P.A.T. Labs and Mamuta present for only one time the great success of the year performed at the Jerusalem Film Festival 2017:
The Dybbuk 1937-2017

Film and live performance by Sala-manca (Lea Mauas and Diego Rotman), Adi Kaplan, Shachar Carmel, Ayu Rotman Mauas & The Jerusalem Street Orchestra, conducted by Ido Shpitalnik
Michael Waszynski (Poland) with a new edition by Adi Kaplan, Shachar Carmel & Sala-manca
״The dead were returned to life, and a culture long vanished, wiped out by the Holocaust, was resurrected on the screen” (Ira Konigsberg)
A new, re-edited version of the Yiddish film will be screened with live music and dubbing performance in the courtyard of the former Jerusalem Leprosarium (Hansen House), a venue no less gothic than the film’s aesthetics.
The new, film-performance version is based on the film directed by Michael Waszynsky (1937), based upon S. Ansky’s play Der Dybbuk. Ansky wrote the play after completing the ethnographic expedition he organized between 1912-1914. The play (and film) tells the story of the ill-fated love between Hanan and Lea, the possession of Lea’s body by Hanan’s soul, the exorcism ceremony, and death as resolution – a re-encounter of the lovers in the next world.
Adi Kaplan, Shahar Carmel, and Sala-manca not only re-edited the film, they also replaced the original music composed by Henekh Kohn and the cantorial songs performed by Gershon Sirotta, with a new score. Performed live by the Jerusalem Street Orchestra, conducted by Ido Shpitalnik, the score is an adapted version of the Vltva (The Moldau), the second symphonic poem of Má vlast (My Homeland), by Czech composer Bedřich Smetana. The use of Smetana’s Moldau as a clear reference to Israel’s national anthem – resonating it, but different – creates a liminal sonic soundscape incapable of defining an accurate sense of place or ideology.
Lea Mauas and Diego Rotman of the Sala-manca group are professional and real life partners, possessing the voices of the “dead but eternal” characters, originally performed by another real-life couple, Lili Liliana (Leah) and Leon Liebgold (Hannan)
In the spirit of The Dybbuk, the artists visit the archive instead of the cemetery, and invite the dead to dance with the living once again.
With the support of The National Authority for Yiddish Culture, Ostrovsky Family Fund, Hansen House, Jerusalem Municipality, Bet Shalom Aleichem, and the Polish Institute.

[:IW] פתיחה ופרפורמנס | אנא התנהגו בטבעיות[:en]Please Behave Naturally | Adi Kaplan and Shachar Carmel Opening and Performance [:]
2017-10-25 19:30 - 21:30 | Mamuta Art and Media Center, Hansen House, Gedaliahu Alon 14, Jerusalem, Israel
Mamuta at Hansen House presents:
Please Behave Naturally
An exhibition by Adi Kaplan and Shahar Carmel
Curation and intervention: Sala-Manca Group
Performance: fragments from “The Pianist”, electro-acoustic performance by Shira Legman in collaboration with Adi Kaplan and Shachar Carmel | Performers: Hagai Freshtman (drums), Shira Legman (Cello), Adi Kaplan and Shachar Carmel (Foleys) | Paintings: Adi and Shachar | Music and Soundtrack designs: Shira Legman | Video adaptation: Shachar Davis | Sound Design: Giory Polity
55 pastel-oil paintings on canvases of different sizes make up the three series that comprise this exhibition, each documenting the goings-on in a different Tel Aviv public space. Carmel and Kaplan’s paintings are based on their own texts, each line of text inspiring one of the paintings. The series, painted over the course of the past three years, were printed in the book “Please Behave Naturally,” published in 2016 by LevAfor Publishing. Upon the book’s printing and publication, the paintings in it were rendered a byproduct of the book’s production.
Thus in a certain sense the exhibition is the catalog, elucidating the series of paintings that appear in the book. The exhibition and the book create paths that are reflected in one another, using the same images to tell similar but different stories. The book and the exhibition are not illustrations of one another, but parallel entities with similar faces. The installation in the gallery is a product of the re-editing of Kaplan and Carmel’s three stories within a single story, told through the intervention of the Sala-Manca group.
Kaplan and Carmel have been working together for more than two decades. They create together, complement one another, erase, add, and complete one another. Their choice of oil-pastel is an aesthetic as much as a conceptual choice: the colors are never resolved, always open for erasure or for the ongoing act of painting.

===========
We met Kaplan and Carmel, who work on the seamline between politics and art, during a guerilla action that they initiated in 2004, with the installation of the exhibition “Russian compounds” in Jerusalem’s Russian Compound (together with Yoram Blumenkrantz). The exhibition was presented as a response to the curators of the Artfocus 4 bienalle, after those agreed to sign the participating artists on a secret contract with the ministry of defense, which manages the site in which the biennale took place – a British mandatory prison that is located also in the Russian Compound. Shahar and Kaplan presented a series of paintings based on photographs of B’tselem. This was the beginning of an acquaintance that led to many collaborations, most of which took place in the framework of the “Heara” contemporary art interventions. The last – the collaborative work “The Dybbuk 1937-2017” was presented in the framework of the Jerusalem International Film Festival.
In the last one the two artists, in cooperation with the musician Shira Legman and the animation artist Shahar Davis, created the show “The pianist,” which combines live and recorded music, soundscape from the places described in the paintings, narration, and animated projections of the paintings. The show will go up in Hansen House in the opening of the exhibition.

The Fire Seminar (recordings from the black and blue library)
Brandon LaBelle
Staged as a collective listening session, The Fire Seminar takes place in the back garden of the Hansen House and is centered on the building of a fire. Utilizing a modified oil drum along with prepared and found materials, the Seminar is a performative situation aimed at reflecting upon states of dispossession and creative survival.
Shaping The Fire Seminar will be a collection of audio recordings and documents culled from the Black and Blue Library and amplified through a sound system. From Blind Willie McTell and Ella Fitzgerald to Memphis Slim and Louis Armstrong, the project of the Blues can be heard as an audible catalogue of the beaten, the forlorn, the libidinal and the resilient, forming a rich and complex narrative of lyrical redemption and celebration. As Fred Moten suggests, the black poetic tradition is one of deep resourcefulness and creative improvisation, which mobilizes the logic of loss toward new states of self-possession and collective determination. By punctuating the night with a blaze of fire, The Seminar draws out the Blues as a particular audibility, one flushed with traditions of oral culture, musical soul and sonic intensity, and that may compel a passionate listening.

A Man Escaped or: The Wind Bloweth Where It Listeth (French: Un condamné à mort s’est échappé ou Le vent souffle où il veut) is a 1956 French film directed by Robert Bresson. It is based on the memoirs of André Devigny, a member of the French Resistance held in Montluc prisonby the occupying Germans during World War II. The protagonist of the film is called Fontaine. The second part of the title comes from the Bible (John 3:8) using the words of the Authorized King James Version (more recent translations use words like “wants” (which is the title in French) or “pleases” instead of “listeth”). Bresson himself was imprisoned by the Germans as a member of the French Resistance.
The soundtrack uses the Kyrie from Mozart’s Great Mass in C minor, K. 427.[1] The film was entered into the 1957 Cannes Film Festival.

Tangos, The Exile of Gardel, Pino Solanas
In Paris, a troupe of artistically inclined Argentine exiles long for their homeland and its traditions. Seeking to create a salve for their shared sense of isolation, they craft a song-and-dance revue in honor of the late Carlos Gardel, an iconic tango dancer. These lively music numbers mix ballet and the tango, and they spread from the theater to backstage and into the streets of Paris, as these melancholy expatriates gallivant around their adopted home.

Initial release: November 6, 1985 (France)

Director: Fernando Solanas

Music composed by: Fernando Solanas, Astor Piazzolla, José Luis Castiñeira de Dios

”Anu Banu” group presents:
On 10 December 1948 the UN-Council adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Each year this day is marked as the International Day of Human Rights. The Dutch organisation `Global Village Artists Network` (stichting White Cube) has created for this day a truly world wide project. Not only video-artists from each corner of the world, but also shown simultaniously at different venues around the globe.
Global Village Artists Network (stichting White Cube) is best known for its biennial art-project Global Village. Global Village is organized every two years since 2010. ‘Meeting’ is the central theme: artists from all over the world meet each other and the public. Every 2 years a new selection of about 65 emerging artists is made. Since 2010 we organized Global Village exhibitions in the Netherlands, France, Germany, Denmark, Azerbaijan and Macedonia. Next to this project Stichting White Cube organizes other exhibitions and projects within the EU. Stimulating cultural exchange between artists and public is the key factor in our productions.
Global Videos
Global Videos is a daughter-project of Global Village. With the Global Village-project we were faced with various logistical problems, such as costs of transport, visa, customs, etc. Due to those many artists weren’t able to be present at one of our exhibition, especially artists from Africa, Middle-East, Latin-America and Asia found it difficult to get visa or to transport their art. With Global Videos we found an easy way which enable us to receive art-videos from each part of the world by internet; no visa-, transport- or customs problems. And at the same time internet provide us a way to send the videos gathered by us back into the world to reach audiences outside our regulair exhibition-circuit.
2016 is the first year we organize Global Videos. Our aim is to build up audiences in the coming 2 years. So that in 2018 when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights celebrates its 70th birthday we can organize Global Videos at 70 locations around the world (on all continents) with 70 art-videos from artists also from each corner of this earth. Thanks to our partners Global Videos can now been seen at already 5 continents. Screenings are organized at these 16 locations:

in collaboration with the Jerusalem Cinematheq and the Israeli Film Archives
The Little Soldier (French: Le Petit Soldat) is a 1960 French film, written and directed by French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, but not released until 1963. It was Godard’s first film with Anna Karina, who starred as Véronica Dreyer alongside Michel Subor (as Bruno Forestier).
During the Algerian War, Bruno Forestier lives in Geneva to escape the enlistment in France. Working for French intelligence, he is ordered to kill Palivoda, who is pro-FLN (National Liberation Front of Algeria), to prove he is not a double agent. Refusal and hesitation keep him from carrying out the assassination.
Meanwhile, he meets and falls in love with Véronica Dreyer, who helped the FLN. Bruno plans to leave with her for Brazil, but is captured and tortured by Algerian revolutionaries.
He escapes, and agrees to kill Palivoda for the French in exchange for passage to Brazil for himself and Veronica. However, the French discover Veronica’s ties to the FLN, and torture her to death.
