Yael Rasooly (IL): Edith and Me

What has happened? A singer loses her voice and her courage to face life. A secret burns inside her. But she is not alone. The famous singing icon Edith Piaf stands by her side, drags her out of bed and accompanies her on her way back to life. Based on a true story, Yael Rasooly's virtuoso one-woman show with puppets, objects and song explores the consequences of violence and shows how art can help us regain our own voice and love of life. She strikes the perfect balance between entertaining cabaret and psychological authenticity, between comedy and painful remembrance.

Yael Rasooly is a trained singer and puppeteer. She has already wowed audiences at the IMAGINALE 2020 with her productions "Paper Cut" and "The House by the lake".
