SYNOPSIS: Voices Festival Productions presents the Equity premiere of a new Israeli musical about an assassination that changed the course of that country’s history, and by extension our own.  This American premiere sets two Israeli families, from two radically different ethnic and racial backgrounds, on a musical collision course, counter-posing the 73 year old Prime Minister of Israel, Yitzhak Rabin and his family, with the ideological resistance of a 25-year-old Yemenite law student, Yigal Amir, and his family.  The escalating conflict culminates in a terrible act of violence one fateful night, November 4, 1995, at a peace rally (of all places), which would forever alter the trajectory of the Middle East Peace Process. Told with an up-to-the-minute frame of reference from two of the principal women in Rain and Amir’s lives, an intimate cast of five portrays a range of figures in the lives of Rabin and Amir, revealing striking reverberations within a deeply divided society.  A theater experience that pointedly looks back to how we got into the current political turmoil we’re in, the piece holds up an emotionally supple frame to humanize this history, with all its hope and brutal setbacks, its personalities, and its foreboding polarization – offering a rich lens through which to view the present tragic moment.

NOTE: We encourage both Jewish and non-Jewish artists to submit for all roles. VOICES FESTIVAL PRODUCTIONS is an independent production company dedicated to producing plays with current and urgent content designed to stimulate dis­course in our community and beyond. Our works find resonance with those living with conflict in the Middle East as well those closer to home, in our nation’s cap­ital, and along the seams of this country and its very real and perceived divides. We celebrate diverse, intercultural encounters through provocative, introspective new work for the stage.

Our focus is two-fold: through “Voices From a Changing Middle East“ we animate a multitude of perspectives emerging from the ever-shifting conflict in Israel and Palestine. At the same time, “Voices from a Changing Nation” pulls at the rendered seams of our moment to find commonality at the heart of narratives that resonate both from across the ocean and in our own backyards. We are in dialogue with our moment in history, dedicated to truth-telling through art.

All VFP personnel are asked to follow organizational policies for anti-discrimination/harassment and safety protocols. In addition to our mission, we have iterated company safety documents, including our VFP Anti-Harassment Policy, Rehearsal Room Standards (based on the work of our colleagues at Not in Our House: DC,), an Intimacy Pillars Reference Guide, and more. www.voicesfestivalproductions.com
