Hi there,
I'm happy to share with you over 40 events hosted by the "Equinote Association", a non-profit organization, that will be taking place throughout the country featuring dancers, musicians, painters, singers, actors, and artists of all ages with special needs.
Rinat Avisar and Yoram Lachish, entrepreneurs and founders of the association, are musicians and parents of four children, two of whom are hard of hearing. The personal familiarity with the world of people with special needs and various limitations and the desire to raise awareness of the need to make culture in general and music, in particular, led them to establish the Equinote association that connects two almost opposite worlds but worlds that are close to their hearts: music and hard of hearing.
The events will take place within the framework of the project “Special Ones at the Forefront” and "Equality Day for People with Disabilities" which took place on December 3rd.
WHEN: During the months of December and January
KEY EVENTS
A Performance: "Touching the Sounds with Beethoven"
A groundbreaking musical show especially accessible to children with hearing disabilities - where you hear, see and touch sounds. A performance that won the Israel Accessibility Award, uses an innovative instrument developed for the performance, the playing frequencies of the orchestra are to be screened live, a new approach to music is created - in sight and touch. The children experience how sand changes its shape and produces wonderful geometric shapes, a drop of water reacts to sound, and how the music in your fingertips through vibrating water. The hero of the play is the composer Ludwig van Beethoven, who despite his deafness and perhaps even thanks to his deafness, contributed musical masterpieces to humanity, thus constituting a symbol of the strength of the human spirit and its ability to overcome the limitations of the body.
