What Happened to the Music?

On the way to the opening show of the Train Theater Festival, lightning hit the equipment truck and burned the computer with all the show’s music. The only back up disc in the entire world is held by a Chinese monk living on a lonely mountain top who only answers the phone on Tuesdays.

What have we got: Players? Yes. Puppets? Yes. Lighting? Yes. Music - none!

Is music important for the theater?

Where will the rhythm come from? How do you create emotion? What does a table sound like?

And most importantly - will the Baruch Brothers playing for the receptions be able to save the day, or do they only know how to play Bossa Nova?

A special show for the Train Theater Festival on the occasion of the release of Tomer Baruch's new album Music for Puppet Shows, which brings together pieces he wrote for puppet theater over the past few years. The show will reveal the behind-the-scenes of writing music for the theater and will host excerpts from four plays for which Tomer wrote the music: Night Walk by Michal Ben Anat and Gony Paz, Toto and Friends by Orit Bergman, What Makes a House Home? by Orit Mamrod and Infinity and One by Roni Golan and Sivan Schlatzer Alexandrovich.
