Amichai, a central figure in the poetic movement called DOR HAMEDINA (the generation of the establishment of the State), wrote unique and groundbreaking poems. His quasi-mundane and straightforward style captivated readers, and his books, translated into forty languages, became an instant success. While considered a poet and not a lyricist or songwriter, many acclaimed Israeli composers put his poems to music. Among the songs featured in the show: "HABALADA AL HASSE'AR HA'AROKH VEHASSE'AR HA'KATZAR", "BE-AHAVATENU", "LAVI OTI", "SHIR LEIL SHABBAT", and more. A video-mapping artwork created by students and alumni from the Musrara School of Art will be on display. The work, inspired by Amichai's extensive oeuvre, will allow a visually interpretive look at his poems.
