Maybe this post is slightly off topic compared to the topics of the blog, but this is also part of my world. Here is some information and the story of the show. A show, made of sounds, images and testimonies. “Al Kamandjati” (the violinist) is the title of the new work produced by the Musica per Roma Foundation in collaboration with Festival Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music and with the contribution of Trondheim Kommune. An intense and without too many filters performance that was held on Saturday 1 December at the Rome Auditorium, Sala Petrassi, which saw Amira Hass, Ha'aretz correspondent, the only Israeli journalist living in the West Bank, Moni Ovadia, a voice who has always been involved in the conflict between Palestine and the State of Israel, Mohammad Bakri, the most popular and loved Palestinian actor.
Two musical groups representing the different souls of the show alternated on stage: on Uruguay Mobile Number List the one hand the Norwegian string quartet Trondheim Soloists, who together with the horn player Alessio Allegrini performed the original music by Franghiz Ali Zadeh, a Muslim composer of Azerbaijani origin, on the other, Ramzi Aburedwan himself and the Dal'ouna Ensemble, made up of Al Kamandjati's teachers and students. Marco Dinoi directed the video while the stage design was by Jannis Kounellis, one of the major contemporary artists. But where did the idea for the show come from? Al Kamandjâti is the name that Ramziì Aburedwan (the famous photo of him throwing a stone at an Israeli tank at the age of nine, which became the symbol of the first Intifada) chose for the music school he established for Palestinian children, especially those who are born and live in refugee camps.
Ramzi's idea might appear to us "comfortable Westerners" to be an extravagant and banal idea, but this is not the case. Because on Sunday morning, when the children leave Ramallah for school in Nablus, you never know if they will be able to get to class, or if Israeli soldiers will prevent them, weapons in hand, at a checkpoint, from passing on. Exhausting waits at best, but also the impossibility of passing, forcing them to turn back. Slow down or stop music, like ideas and last but not least the right to a free life. And so for Jenin, for Hebron, for Tulkarem... who every day, even if forced by such "overbearing limits", continue their journey waiting for the next lesson. This is the meaning: one day a week in the fields of these and other cities we try to break this "daily wall".
