Noam Enbar

"Once I entered a Garden" (Rome Film Festival 2012) which tells the story of the teacher Ali Al-Azhari from the village Sepphoris.

The work was put up as part of the debut at the Berlin Film Festival in 2012 and later at the "White Nights" in Paris in 2013 and at the Open City Doc Fest in London in 2014.

It takes a famous Israeli agricultural song, associated with the Kibbutz movement, turning it into an expressive polyphonic chant.

Enbar took part in two pieces for stage art with the poet and playwright Yonatan Levi: "The general and the Sea" (2014), a momentous piece for a choir and single actor which tells the story of Rafael Eitan, and "Giants (Ne'filim)" (Israel Festival 2016), a grim trilogy spanning three decades of Israeli cultural history.

Audience members where reclined on mattresses and lulled with dream-inducing surreal songs in Hebrew, Arabic, Yiddish, Polish, English and Armenian.

Enbar composed the music for the choir from texts by poets such as Lewis Carroll, Aharon Shabtai, and Yonatan Levi.

[5] In 2017 Enbar opened his solo exhibition "Preaching to the Choir" ("Sharim BaKikar") at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.

[6] In 2017, Enbar put on his piece "Ra'am" for ensemble of drummers commissioned by Basis Academy of the Arts, Herzliya.

This was a site specific, durational piece, created in collaboration with light-designer Omer Shezaf, embedding itself in the tower-like architecture of Basis Academy.
