The ornate artificiality of "The Singer in the Mask" conveys alienation, not humanity
Everything is ticking in "The Singer in the Mask": the wow costumes.
The judges are ripping, the facilitator is excellent.
But somehow all this carnival is tedious and detached, does not belong to the general mood, as if it does not take place in Israel 2020 but sometime in the future, and mostly spreads slowly.
The game itself also exhausts itself quite quickly

Singer Promo in a Mask (Rainbow 12)
Ido Rosenblum enters the hall with a mask of Iron-Man, the hedonistic superhero and hyper-capitalist of Marvel, who, thanks to his sharp mind and metal suit, gives him the power to save the world time and time again.
It is followed by several models in suits, also a kind of costume.
The crowd, in which no one wears a mask despite the closed structure and the spreading virus that does not distinguish between celeb and celeb, applauds him.
He removes it and shouts, "Good evening."
We have already seen more beautiful than this, we must admit, if we remember that a moment ago the news ended.
This is how the "singer in the mask" of the rainbow opens, disguised as a program that will save us from ourselves this time: "wedding" of the second closure, "Ninja Israel" of the terrible days.
Extreme escapism in the form of a festive and glittering prom, in which celebrities also jump into metaphorical waters.
The choreography is sparkling, the judges are happy, and on stage - a line of stars whose identities are unknown perform pop songs in invested costumes and with impressive skill.
It’s an absolute fantasy with a high-dose sugar label, far from anything that happens outside, anything that is “important” or “value-based” or “educational,” and anything that is reminiscent of hospitals, unemployment, or indictments.
As if all this is not happening here at all, in Israel 2020, but at the Futurists Conference.

Costumes of a normal life.
"The Singer in the Mask" (Rainbow screenshot 12)
And so they ascend, one by one, crembo and bear, rooster and dragon, goat and ox.
Promo videos full of vague hints try to encourage us to identify, but this is of course impossible.
Still, we have to guess who is hiding behind the mask: a cat?
monster?
You never know, and it does not really matter.
The quality of the numbers also has no importance or taste: after all, no one cares if it was a beautiful or ugly performance.
With so many different characters, everything looks the same.
What matters is the television message to the public, which is hidden within the magic: within the costumes anyone can be whatever he just wants, without anyone being able to judge him.
All over the world the crowd bought it, Koreans and Americans alike, that only we would give up?
No way.
Anyway after half a year of this madness we do not identify ourselves at all, what our real life once was.
All that remains are imaginary costumes that we will sew for ourselves for the day after: how we will change and grow when everything opens up again and the ground is stable again.
The characters are costumes of a normal life.
Ordinary people are hiding in the content.

Artificiality that transmits alienation.
"The Singer in the Mask" (Rainbow screenshot 12)
Everything is ticking inside "The Singer in the Mask": The Costumes - Wow.
The judges are ripping, from Shahar Hasson to Ofira Asaig, and Ido Rosenblum is the best presenter on television.
But somehow, all this carnival is tedious, does not belong to the general mood, and mostly smeared slowly.
The game itself also exhausts itself quite quickly.
Most of all: this ornate artificiality conveys alienation, not humanity.
No wonder, then, that the most powerful moment in the premiere episode aired yesterday is as expected the one in which the losing contestant removes the mask and introduces himself to the world.
The screen is no longer a science-fiction film, but a show: finally a real face.
Anyone who loves music knows that the best singers are the ones who reveal themselves.
In this moment, the loser is the true winner, that is: the one who has returned to being human.
