Songs Grow Here
The show was initiated by and created in collaboration with the National Library
How is a song born?
Two young poets search for books about their favorite Hebrew songs, meeting three songs of beloved Hebrew poets:
Leah Goldberg looks out at a white flower from a distant land, remembering how she came to Israel from afar, and wrote “Pizmon LaYakinton”; Ehud Manor wrote “Brosh Levado” about the Cypress tree he missed from his childhood home; Miriam Yalan-Stekelis wrote “Danny Gibor” when thinking how to write about love.
We learn about the excitement and pain involved in writing songs.
Musical Visual Theater designed from books, with the stories behind the songs.
