What happens when words that became secular prayers worldwide land on the desk of one of Israel’s most fascinating singer-songwriters? The Revolution Orchestra and Aya Korem invite you to dive into the depths of Leonard Cohen’s body of work, in a new show that translates the classics that shaped generations into an “Israeli” experience.
In an artistic dialogue rooted in a shared love for Cohen, Korem and the Orchestra dress his iconic texts and melodies in a bold Hebrew garment. The raw, exposed words meet the orchestra in a staging that flows between the intimacy of the writing room and the sheer power of the concert stage. This is a mesmerizing musical journey between the sacred and the secular, between Tel Aviv and Montreal, reminding us all why these masterpieces remain eternal.
