BY YONATAN LEVY & NOAM ENBAR
A MUSICAL-THEATRE PIECE FOR AN ACTOR AND A CHORUS
THE GENERAL AND THE SEA is an epic rendering of one of the greatest Israeli myths ever: The last minutes of General Raphael Eitan (“Raful”), a legendary soldier known for his superhuman courage at the battlefield, who went to the Ashdod Port wave breaker on a stormy day, and was swept to sea – without knowing how to swim.
Raful was a laconic man who gave away little emotion. Yet after his death his widow revealed that he used to cry out every night, in his dreams, frequently meeting dozens of his dead soldiers and the two sons he lost.
Yet THE GENERAL AND THE SEA is not only an Israeli myth deconstructed ironically, in a post-nationalistic view, but the story of Man, facing Life and Death, conquering and surrendering; a clash between man and his destiny, between male and female, between the volume of pain and the lack of expression; a war story between a man and himself.
THE GENERAL AND THE SEA is composed by NOAM ENBAR (“Habiluyim”). The General Raful is portrayed by Israeli TV star MENASHE NOY and the sea by a chorus.
