Patria, The Town of Cain and Abel
Patria, The Town of Cain and Abel
A tragicomic tale that recounts the history of Italy from the postwar period to the present day, seen through the eyes of two brothers. Running Time: 60 min, In Italian with English Supertitles PATRIA tells the story of Italy’s Years of Lead through the eyes of a “blank” character, a Dostoevskian fool whom everyone considers the village idiot. After hitting his head as a child—perhaps because of his brother—he is called Abel; he frantically searches for traces of his brother Cain, who disappeared in a railway attack (the Italicus massacre). The history of Italy from the postwar period to the present day is seen through the eyes of two brothers who have mysteriously crossed paths with the bloodiest events in Italian history: massacres, coups, terrorism, lobbies, mafias, secret services—those affairs that helped shape the Italy of our grandparents into the country we will leave to our children. The story of Italy is inevitably tragicomic, where the memories of heroes and villains become inseparably intertwined, just like the stories of our two brothers. A family biography that ultimately becomes the biography of a nation. Conceived by Fabio Banfo, Giacomo Ferraù e Giulia Viana Dramaturg Fabio Banfo, Directed by Giacomo Ferraù Performed by Fabio Banfo A co-production by Centro Teatrale MaMiMò / Eco di fondoWith the collaboration of the Flamigni Archive

The Israeli Opera’s Mothers
The Israeli Opera’s Mothers
Our founding matriarchs have long taken back seats to their husbands. In the Bible, we learn a few names, but we hear nothing about how Sarah felt when Abraham offered to sacrifice Isaac without consulting her, about the pain of sisters Rachel and Leah over being married to the same man, Jacob, or about the scores of nameless women who raised the children, fought in battles and helped write Jewish history. Now, the Israeli Opera has flipped the script, telling the Genesis stories from the point of view of women, giving voice not only to Sarah, Rachel and Leah but to biblical females unseen. Following the success of our recent performance of The Israeli Opera’s Theodor, The Temple Emanu-El Streicker Cultural Center is proud to welcome the creator and principal performers of Mothers: Anat Czarny as Hagar and Leah Daniela Sklorka as Rebecca and Rachel Shay Block as Sarah Yael Levita as God’s voice David Sebba, Librettist, Composer and Musical Director Shirit Lee Weiss, Stage Director

In a deep sleep, he begins to dream — a powerful, haunting journey through the 39 steps of his life, from childhood to the historic fight for justice that changed a nation. Through this moving and imaginative production, audiences are taken inside the heart and mind of a man who inspired millions, exploring his fears, faith, and ultimate sacrifice for freedom.
