“Tippecanoe” from Elsewhere

A journey back to a long lost place.

Tippecanoe

Melody by Joey Wisenberg
chanted by Hadar Ahuvia 

joyous are those who sit in your home on and on praising you, selah.

Ashrei - Adagio

From SALONIKA, a new musical by Avi Amon & Julia Gytri

A PRINCESS of fable and a BOY of the real world explore how we, as humans, process information in the face of trauma. Terrified of their own shadows, they each must solve a riddle that will determine the course of their destiny: “By night, they come without being called, but by day, they disappear without being stolen. What are they?” They free their imaginations and recall the wisdom instilled in them by their elders. 

Note: In Ladino, Avoltar Cazal, Avoltar Mazal translates to “A change of scene, change of fortune.”

Lyrics:

"Won't you step back?" she asked,
"back from the edge of infinity,
back from a cruel winter's irony,
back from the ledge of a rifted sea?

"We'll be alright," she said,
"we've seen the light in the corridor,
we've seen our lives in some holy war,
we've seen the might of a wretched storm.

"Calling all child's hearts:
your suns have set in stone.
But our souls are still sacred here -
we're not alone on this spinning sphere.

"And we're not any older,
just a little bit sorry, that's all."
