Robbie, Touch the World - Rock Opera
Debuted at the Israeli Opera June 14, 2018, as part of the Revolution Series, season 2017/18
An original rock opera by Shani and Alon Eder about love’s journey among the voices that threaten to silence it
Robbie (Alon Eder), 32, from Tel Aviv, moves closer to and away from the world and from himself. One evening he meets Lucy (Yael Eisenberg) and the connection between them is especially powerful, but the moment Lucy takes a step back, Robbie’s voices and fears – Greedy (Hemi Rudner), Rut Hitmakrut (Efrat Gosh), and Noya Paranoia (Doron Talmon) – come back to drive him mad. Robbie feeds on his self-destruction. Will he manage to go a different way this time with Lucy’s help? The show is accompanied with instrumentals and vocals by the Revolution Orchestra and ‘Lehaka’ (Ran Darom – guitars/ Sefi Zisling – trumpet/ Nadav Hollander – bass/ Avner Kelmer – violin/ Yonatan Rozen – drums)
Original music and script: Shani and Alon Eder Directed by: Jason Danino-Holt Adaptation for orchestra: Avner Kelmer
