The City: A rap opera written entirely in rhyme, performed as one continuous song.
Combines rap, hip hop and spoken word with theatrical and poetic texts.
Inspired by black music, film noir, and detective films, the plot focuses on the character of Joe, a cynical and bitter detective working in a corrupt, decaying city.
One stormy night, a young woman named Sarah Bennett comes to Joe’s office and tells him about the mysterious disappearance of her sister. Joe decides to take the case, a decision that could cost him his life.
The musical arrangements remain faithful to street language, and uses unusual, minimalistic instruments (beatbox, a garbage can and chopsticks used as percussion instruments, darbuka drum, classical guitar, and keyboard).
About the Artists:
The City was written and created by Amit Ulman, Omer Havron, and Omer Mor – members of “The Victor Jackson Show”, an Israeli hip hop group that has put on dozens of performances around Israel, and boasts two EPs and a large, supportive group of fans.
