Festivals, exhibitions and Leonard Cohen: the worthwhile events of the week

* Recommendation of the week: The fourth guitar festival will take place this week at the Tsava club. The first to strum the strings at the grand opening event is the Prince of the Groove and the king of punk Guy Mazig. Later, Danny Robbs will take the stage in a tribute to Matti Caspi, and several other guitar artists from here and around the world who will play Jewish, classical, Latin, jazz music and more.Tsvata, Tel-Aviv | 24-27.10

exhibition

The painter Zoya Cheraksky went on three trips to Nigeria, her husband’s country, and painted the members of his family, their village and the local culture, and also returned in her paintings to the civil war in Biafra, the influence of which is still evident today. The result is about forty paintings on paper that are divided into three chapters – three series documenting three visits created for the exhibition “Patricia Nadi’s Funeral”.

And if you’re already at Beit Berel, take a look at Gaston Zvi Itzkovitch’s “A Completely Different Map of the Land”, which discusses the visual struggles over the landscape and the borders of the land, and at the group exhibition “At the Edge of the Sky”, about the Roman concept of the “spirit of the place” (Genius Loci).

Digits

Exactly 120 years ago, Emile Zola, a journalist and one of the greats of world literature, died in Paris. He left behind dozens of novels and stories, as well as the article “I blame”. His publication brought change to the world but also put his life in danger. Following his criticism of the legal injustice done to Dreyfus, Zola became the target of persecution, despite his international publication. In his books he describes human society about the good and the bad in it.

In the show “The Greatness of Emil Zola” tastings of his works will be performed by actors as well as points from his fascinating life stories.Tsvata, Tel-Aviv | 23.10

dance

In 1934, Leonard Cohen was born in the Westmond neighborhood of Montreal, and all his travels around the world did not sever his special connection with his hometown.

This month, the Ballet Jazz Montreal troupe, one of the leading troupes in the world of modern dance, comes to Israel with its unique work Dance Me inspired by Leonard Cohen, the great ambassador of the troupe’s city.
