Original songs, disturbing monologues about the situation, and surprising covers of familiar hits

“Spectacular! A close and lively show, witty and punctuated with humor and small moments of kindness.. The ensemble of musicians is a celebration” The stage, Merav Yodilovich

“I laughed, I cried, I was moved and I was amazed! The songs, the lyrics, the musicians and the arrangements are pure delight!” Gal”ts, Hani Dinur

“Intelligent and elegant, dark, mysterious, witty and exciting, astonishing and short. Laura, in her restrained silence, is magnetic” Amos Oren, The Good Life

“Rivlin knows how to deliver a song. A smoky atmosphere, a bit bluesy, jazzy and a pinch of French chanson, played wonderfully… like on albums by Tom Waits or Marianne Faithfull…” Yedioth Ahronoth, Amir Schwartz

A musical evening of spicy personal cabaret. With a smoky voice and mesmerizing delivery, Laura sings a cycle of original songs that she wrote out of observation about her life and the people around her – songs that she arranged with Nurit Zarhi and composed by Shaul Besser, in a musical production by Yemi Whistler (Habiliyoim), and alongside them – poignant, funny and less funny monologues about life and the situation, about the war that ended and perhaps began differently and everyday life, as well as surprising cover versions of familiar Israeli hits, which Laura paints in new colors.

“I don’t know if it’s this war that’s finally over, but who knows what will happen here after it, or my age that insists on continuing to race forward until complete victory, the prices that are getting more expensive and human lives that have become cheap, but there’s this feeling in the air – of the beginning of the last act, and I don’t know about you, but I can’t remember where I hid the gun in the first act anymore..” Laura Rivlin, from the show
