About a festival between heaven and earth

Creators, residents and a respectable audience

And

Festival 'Between Heaven and Earth' is a Jerusalem brand that connects the world of contemporary modern dance with the world of Jewish and Israeli renewal.

Like the city of Jerusalem, the festival produces connections between traditional and modern, between Jewish sources and current Israeli culture, and between Israeliness and universality - connections that create new and refreshing worlds of content, and illuminate both art and tradition in a new light.

This year, the festival presents dance works that deal with issues of immigration and identity, multicultural representation, belonging and location in diverse Israeli society.

The festival's activities contribute to the establishment of Jerusalem as the cultural capital of Israel and its continued growth is important and welcome. The Jerusalem Municipality will continue to support the activities of the center between heaven and earth in recognition of its unique cultural value as a Jerusalem brand that offers a young and innovative narrative and operates in the city with the desire that its various communities will feel at home.

I would like to thank all those involved in the craft who have collaborated with us and the dedicated festival staff and made this blessed work possible.

pleasant viewing

Regards,

Moshe Leon, Mayor of Jerusalem

Dear audience and friends,

And

Human memory is like a page made up of pairs of pages. When you write on one page, marks are also written on the page below it. The listing on the bottom page, Freud says, is maintained even when the listing on the top page is deleted and replaced with another listing. Haviva Pedia writes that we are not aware of how much the deep layer that is below is necessary for our existence, even if it is half-erased. This layer must exist, both in the personal consciousness and in that of the Israeli collective 2019.

A festival between Heaven and the 11th Land brings the intricate physicality of the immigrants, the sons of the immigrants and their grandchildren, revealing the erased pages and the drawings left on paper. The works on display at the festival, all of which are premiered, work in front of and in connection with memory, longing, belonging, stories that are told implicitly or shouting, resisting or seeking to return to the home of grandparents.

I thank from the bottom of my heart all the partners who walk with us along the way, to the Ministry of Culture, the Jerusalem Municipality, the Jerusalem Foundation, Bader philanthropies, the expanding circle of friends between heaven and earth, the brave and courageous artists, and to you a respectable audience - we exist thanks to you.

And

Regards,

Ronen Yitzhaki, CEO of the Center between Heaven and Earth
