Inside the Night of the Skull
Tal Gur
The performance "Inside the Night of the Skull" emerges from a dual dialogue: with Professor Naomi Habib’s research on Alzheimer’s and with Professor Roy Reichart’s explorations of brain and language. Dan Pagis’s poem “Brain” serves as the poetic backbone around which the compositions and texts unfold. Through the fusion of poetry, science, and live music, the performance examines not only memory and forgetting but also the human space woven in conversation, where new connections between knowledge and emotion are formed.
