Lamentations

the story of Moti Tamam

“… for there are faces behind the names,
and eyes behind the numbers,
and entire lives behind the wars,
and dreams behind the battles…
and there are those people who remain standing,
people like me…
alive…
and their world has shattered around them…”

The coping with memory, guilt feelings, and emergence from the depths of terrible pain to a purifying holiness – these are at the foundation of this show, which tells the story of Moti Tamam and his family, harmed by the Second Lebanon War.
