Tomorrow (Thursday) the Tel Aviv Museum of Art will become a space that combines a variety of cultural activities in a continuous event where the audience will experience an extraordinary journey.
All this as part of the event "Nitzutzot", which will be held under the artistic direction of the multidisciplinary artist Nadav Barnea.
As part of the event, creators from diverse fields of activity (cinema, television, literature, music, fashion, etc.) will be located in the spaces of the museum and will share with the audience, each in their own way, their sources of inspiration.
Conversations, performance tours and a peek behind the scenes of the creative processes are just some of the things that the audience will be able to experience.
One of the participants in the event is the composer and singer Eran Tzur, who will perform with selected texts by female poets and dealing with gender, identity and inspiration.
"I saw it as a place to give expression to my references, what I like to do, what made me. I divide my program into three groups, and in each group something different, so that those who see me will get as broad a picture as possible," says Tzur in an interview with "Israel" Today", "I am influenced by the writing, the word, the poetry of male and female poets, and I will divide the groups according to chronology: I will start with the Hebrew of the beginning of the 20th century, with Uri Zvi Greenberg, Jabotinsky's translation of Edgar Allan Poe, and also the subject that concerns me - German Expressionism, the Weimar Republic of that time. I have a song that describes the atmosphere there, and I will also perform a song in German."

"Then I run 60 years ahead, and the second cluster will be about Yona Wallach, who is a great inspiration to me. She opened the door and gate for me to love poetry, and later in life I made an entire album of her poems. She was a marker of liberalism, something that tries to free itself from the politicization of the nation And more to talk about the self, about the individual, about gender. In the third round I was looking for something from contemporary Hebrew. Along with Hebrew that is changing, the public climate is changing - and the poet is changing. What will close the corner for me is Gabriel Belhassan."
What do you think about what is happening now in the scene, in an era where we hear quite a bit of criticism about the vulgarity of the language?
"That's true, but there is a kind of renaissance in the field of poetry writing, look at what's happening with all the poetry slams for example, and there are some poets I like to read now, for example Sivan Baskin. The fact that this thing is further from the wide public eye today is a fact. In a time of Alterman until Wallach wasn't an educated Israeli who didn't know what they were doing, and today it's not like that, but poetry does live."
There is the romantic concept of the artist who creates only when the muse is on him. Do you have certain texts, certain hours or moments when you usually create?
"I think it changes during life. Before I became a family man, I had all kinds of rituals like this to put myself in that state. Later, when my free time was reduced, I started coming to my studio and working there. Today, after many years of creating, I think That the most important thing is the desire to give, to tell the truth about yourself and thus communicate with her. Once you have this desire, it's like a motive that pushes you to personal and poetic expression."
