MIFGASH I: Poetic Translations with Eran Zur and Dory ManorAn Encounter of Music and Poetry
Composing music to poetry is the focus of the first MIFGASH, which brings together Berlin-based Israeli publisher and poet Dr. Dory Manor and the Tel Aviv-based songwriter and composer Eran Zur. Throughout his career, Zur has composed a cornucopia of songs to literary poems. Manor is an award-winning translator and writer. He has translated many of the poetic masterpieces to which Eran Zur has composed music. The two will perform, sing and recite a selection from these songs as well as other poetic songs by famous Israeli composers. Together with the audience, they will explore the poets’ biographies and the historical and linguistic context of their works, and discuss the various challenges of composing music to their poetry. Zur will present, for the first time, newly composed songs to Manor’s translations of several poetic masterworks, among them poems of Else Lasker-Schüler, Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Baudelaire. The two will take the participants of this MIFGASH on an exploratory journey into the realm of poetic translation, exploring rhythm and musicality. They will share from their expertise and knowledge, and demonstrate the process of preserving the musicality of the original text, when translating it, first into Hebrew, then into the language of music.
