The world of culture is currently parting ways with Yosef Carmon, the esteemed actor who played and starred in Hanoch Levin's plays in a variety of roles and is considered one of the giants of Israeli theater.
Carmon's coffin, who passed away last week, was placed in the Cameri Theater, to allow the audience to come and pay their last respects to him.
Many people from the world of culture attended the funeral ceremony at the Cameri, including Alex Ansky, Gabi Amrani, Shlomo Vishinsky, Dov Reiser, Noam Semel, Ran Guetta, Tiki Dayan, Dror Keren, Alon Neumann, Hanan Snir, Hillel Mittelpunkt, Albert Cohen, Roi Assaf, Aya Sheba, Shmuel Vilozny, Roni Ninio and more.
The ceremony included excerpts and songs by Hanoch Levin, in which Carmon played.
The song "Elifelet" was performed by Ronit Ofir, a family member.
Zvika Benno praised him: "Dad died quietly and peacefully when we around him caressed him, sang songs to him, told him stories. We realized that we do not want to mourn his death, but celebrate his life. He had a wonderful life."
On stage, things were carried in his memory: "An actor of his stature and above whose work is intertwined in the world of theater in general and in the Cameri Theater in particular," said Mayor Ron Huldai.
Ran Guetta, director of the Cameri Theater: “I had the honor and privilege of meeting Joseph, watching him on stage and even starring alongside him in a student film.
A great player, a wonderful person with sensitivity, patience and endless dedication to the profession. "
Rami Baruch, the chamber actor: "It was enough that you went on stage and I was already in tears from your very presence."
Noam Semel, director of the Habima Theater and who served for 25 years as director of the Cameri Theater, where Carmon starred in dozens of plays: "The Israeli theater family mourns the death of a great actor, great artist and theater man.
I was as soon as Hanoch Levin offered him the role in 'Eshkava', a role of a coffin builder.
With this sentence, we set off and Carmon was the subject of the cart's journey, which traveled all over the world. "
At the end of the funeral service, his funeral will take place at 3:30 PM in the "Menuchat Olam" alternative cemetery in Netanya.
Of blessed memory.
