A heart-rending opus by acclaimed Jerusalem-based composer Danny Paller and NYTimes Jerusalem bureau staffer/researcher Myra Noveck, NOVEMBER 4 marks the 30th anniversary of an assassination that radically altered the course of history. A timely, tense, musical collision-course between the 73 year old Prime Minister of Israel, Yitzhak Rabin, and his 25-year-old assassin, law student, Yigal Amir, this finely melodic forensic drama, directed by Alexandra Aron, is told with an up-to-the-minute frame of reference, as a cast of five portray a variety of figures in the lives of Rabin and Amir, including the wife, granddaughter, and trusted advisor to the Prime Minister, alongside family members, the love interest, and fellow law students of the assassin, with painful present-day reflecting from two women who were close at hand when the hopes of Oslo fell apart. As the anchor production in the latest installment of VFP’S long-running Voice From A Changing Middle East Festival – presented this year under the banner, “How We Got Here | Where We Go Next” – NOVEMBER 4 will bring communities to commemorate and discuss Rabin’s legacy, from conflicted warrior to fearless peace builder, felled by incitement.
Voices Festival Productions is at 1810 16th Street NW, Washington, DC.
