Sistanagila

The Israeli and Iranian musicians living in Berlin seek dialogue with their project.

The musicians demonstrate this dialogue in Sistanagila by approaching each other, listening to each other with curiosity and playing together. Carried by centuries of Jewish and Iranian musical tradition, the musicians embark on a journey that ultimately leads them to themselves.

They bring folkloric and religious melodies from Klezmer, Sephardic and traditional Persian music to the stage, as well as modern and classical compositions. The different melodies and motifs, rearranged with influences from flamenco and jazz to progressive metal, merge into a music that creates something completely new and builds a bridge between two worlds.
