My back was broken and disintegrated for two sore spot like the sensation of a bullet penetrating
Every step reminds me Need to think about the next
Be careful not to drop anything because lifting it is an almost impossible operation
Four in the morning you will undress, put the clothes in the corner here, there is a closet, lock them, take a robe
Take off the necklace
I do not see the poor and oops I with a green robe walking around afraid not to move too much because it is open in the back goes out to the ward walking around with encouraged how many trout eyes feel sick injection into a vein and here I am inside the device
But in a second everything can turn upside down
Ofer- Three and a half years ago we went out in search of hope- An action that seemed so positive to us, full of air and horizon
Illuminate the strong places, put the depression, loss and distress aside for a moment
A wide-ranging multimedia project, a celebration of creativity and hope
You remember - as in the period of the establishment of the state: vision, values, purpose: to find hope
And we looked for it in places of distress, of difficulty, of the periphery - the envelope of Israel
At that time Man did not come down from heaven - he was replaced by alarm bombs and shelters
How do they live there? What holds them back? (But they hold the there hope?)
In 'Tzavta' they received the project, a supportive cultural director, an artistic committee convened, a call for proposals - came out
And suggestions from artists from the periphery for thematic works began to arrive
The group was formed, a meeting was held, we left it full of hope
(Esti enters the dice and breaks down the wall)

After a day of running, meetings, auditions, studies, speeding phones for all the people who pay you a wash plus 90, take to the garden, return from the garden, make lunch, make 3 washing machines, wash a sink full of dishes, cook for tomorrow, wash pots, wipe 3 noses Runny nose, hang laundry, do lice, fold laundry, read scripts, hand out grades, Check classes ,,, I broke down and did the worst of all- I ordered pizza for the kids ,, I made an account that yellow cheese is still a protein, tomato paste can be considered a red vegetable, oregano, green vegetable, the dough is a carbohydrate, and carbohydrates are in between they will eat at a meal ,, so It's not that bad ,,, it's even healthy !!!
What I did not take into account was the guilt that would keep my eyes from sleeping, for giving my pure and innocent children the thing they love the most - junk food! On the altar of her egocentric laziness,
I'm really trying to be a good mom, one who never Not shouting, always worrying, containing and embracing, and me Makes them a salad at every meal,, do not have to circles After kindergarten, I defend myself, it's not that I'm stingy nor that I'm begging, but there's a limit no ?? And what about me, why not for me too? Why I should not do yoga or go to the hairdresser, I will renew contacts with What's left of me and what about a relationship? Yes, children, even mom and dad need to get to know each other, after years of notes and text messages, "Maybe a night in a B&B without children, you know what.? I exaggerated - a movie, a movie and a meal ,, no, just a movie ,,, So it turns out not to be, I have no hope and no hope, and probably this year I will win the bad mother medal of the year.
Milli and the first video - Ramla Territories
Ofer - in the second meeting the group disbanded, they did not come to the meeting.
After a few months of work and finding ourselves with nothing in our hands we returned to zero
Go try to instill hope in people for one evening of hope
Each with his own hope that sometimes contradicts the other hope and only sometimes so unites into one
Esti - and start from the beginning..the disintegration was built again .. where else can you look for hope? Where is there an extreme place of overcoming where one has to hold on well in the hope of surviving ...?
Artists at the beginning of their journey is not an easy place to hold hope That's what we thought .. worth checking out ..
Once again a voice came out calling portfolios meetings and committee and again decision making discussions - excitement - we formed a group
And we went out on the road ....
And on this day a song - a circle in the video - Ofer dismantles the cartons and builds a sofa for the doll and puts it there
Elite First Section I am asked
They ask me, tell me where you want to live?
I say there
They tell me it's cold there and add a shivering movement
Here too sometimes it is cold I answer, for example at night on the balcony, and in bed alone when the blanket falls.
But there, when the blanket falls, they say, there are no songs that do not intrude on privacy.
There, when the blanket falls she falls gently, politely, she apologizes before she falls, I
Answers and closes another button in the pioneer to play the statement.
Tell me, do they continue, in dreams do men appear in English or Hebrew?
I answer that in my dreams men are silent, we have already summed everything up, we have already said everything we wanted
say
What, you said so fast there? So fast you wanted?
I say that time has a different meaning. The speed of a name is the slow of here. There is no hurry. No
Pushing in lines, not speeding up weddings, not committing suicide on children, not covering up wrinkles. There is no
Aging so fast, not giving up so fast, not losing so fast, not dying so fast ..
There are more than enough despite the slowness.
And say, they say. what about Love,? What about companies
The love there is in all sorts of colors ,, I answer, she is not looking to be like any other love
Standing next to her. Where love is without uniform, it is without boundaries, it does not depend on fences.
So what are we talking about there if there are no boundaries? They keep asking and inhaling cigarette smoke into their lungs
Cheap
We talk there about things that happen elsewhere, because there what is far away becomes near. And on the way
Refer, there are on the way options to choose from. Not like here when there is one road, and one sea and one train, and with
One who knows our God our God our God..even he is both in heaven and in earth though
The distance ..
Say, they do not let go, cry there sometimes?
Cry a lot, I answer, and take off my shirt because I'll get terribly hot again
. There when crying, the crying remains private, no one takes it from you, no one lends it.
So what cry is it if no one wants to take? They marvel and make me shed a tear
It's another cry, a cry of taking responsibility. It is not a cry that has blamed guilt for something else, galloping out
And on the way, Trump takes a few more cries, old, from years ago ... that are spilled on the sidewalk and
The road opposite, and disturbing neighbors. There when crying consider the time of day and the weather and if any
Small children at home and if guests are about to arrive. There is order there in crying, crying knows when his turn comes
And how to use the queue properly,
True, there are queues everywhere .. they are remembered and stick a remnant of gum on the back of a chair in front.
I raise an eyebrow ... a kind of territory marking they explain the action.
Say it does not matter that everything is so clean, and everything happens just in time, and no one is late, nor shouting
About you if you go too slow, or if you hide, if you just smiled like that or if you forgot to smile how
Do you behave like this without receiving existential feedback?
Are conducted, I answer in a weak voice,
..Being..no feedback, no reaction, no regret, no disappointment. Conduct without feeling guilty ..
They ask me: Again, say where you want to be?
I say there
I'm told to be cold there and make a shivering motion
I also make a shivering motion and say shoot here
I'm also told that one day they will shoot, this is a fashion that is spreading
Choking me here, I reply, even in times of quiet, and scattering the gate to feel more airy
Say and what about roots?
On what land? Of one endearing get? Contains or of a dry one? Cursed? Red?
Roots of songs of grip / horror rituals, they say and also open a button on the shirt
I say that there the songs have a rich melody and in the ceremonies there is a summons to life and not to burial and that if they open
The shirt will be ruptured by the growing belly
It is a sign of abundance, they interpret the action
I do not answer and cover my eyes with the gate as an answer
silence
Long silence
Say, so why are you here? A surprising question
Because it's cold, sometimes terribly cold. And the love there is in English, with an accent, sometimes broken, sometimes
Painful.
Like here, but here you can break for longer, here the pain is legitimate, you can experience it out loud,
Without saying excuse who or Pardon, just experience pain with pride
How long did you want to hurt? ”They ask, raising a hairy eyebrow.
I do not answer again I do not decide and cover my ears with a blanket I probably will Old age without a decision
Hope Karp - The Doll with the Cigarette - "Kind of Territory ..." Looks
Esti outside the house
My best friend underwent mastectomy, ovarian removal, chemotherapy And radiation, breast cancer is not good, say one in nine, in reality it is one in seven, six in many more. What is left but hope and a little humor? Make the unbearable - bearable. Here now she has small, solid breasts, you can go without a bra, wear a thin strapless dress without worry, 20 kilos less, and I got from her a bag of clothes that are now big on her but still good on me, I tried it as a hope ,,, I saved a year of shopping At least, and that's it, I decided. I am in favor, I am positive, I will change, I will change, I will dedicate to myself, I will invest in myself. First of all we will start with a diet for walking, swimming, cycling, sports, A little sport will not hurt, they say it also makes a good mood ,, then I will stretch the beto, I will pump fat, I will cut in the arms, I will fill some lips, Botox on the forehead straighten the hopeless wrinkles, iron the face, maybe even a little nose surgery and I will start again . Beautiful, shapely, successful, hopeful, dancing with stars
I called my agent, asked her what I needed to do to increase my chances of being accepted into the program The next reality show, the agent said I should diminish myself ,, I did not understand if she meant physically, emotionally or intellectually, so I decided to do all three
I ran to Dr. Klein (400 calories running hour) who pumped me, here and there, I already felt much more confident in myself, so I went to audition, on the way I got in someone in the car, "You idiot, woman, go back to the kitchen" Ahhhhhh it's so nice to live in Israel A little shaken, I decided to recover with an inverted cup of coffee, on water with skim milk and sucrose ,, and improve my mood!
They said I was too fat. Here and here and "bonus" she also slightly puffed my lips..sexy..from I went to the hairdresser, smoothed, dyed blonde, and cut a pound !! From the mane, I did a little nose surgery, Small breast and breast lift (another 3 pounds) and I came back
I moved on to the second stage !! I failed due to over intelligence, so I sucked another map (brain) and on the way I watched 24 hours in a row on channel 2- Now that I'm perfect, I decided to hold on to the hopeless hope that this time I will return home safely, and hit the road.
They overtook me on the right, cursed me on the left, at every traffic light Homels ambushed me to ruin my day, I did not give up hope and paid for it ,, wait ,, 14000 tummy tuck, 10000 nose, 15000 boobs.5000 new dress, 2500 matching sunglasses, 1500 fashionable boots , (So what if there is no winter) Smoothing, dyeing a haircut 1000, grapefruit diet, Moorish mortars, weight watchers, King's Road, Miri Belkin, by colors, by separations, Atkins, ... multiply by 20 years ,, I have to fill out a lottery! ! I have not lost hope yet
Esti- Year rehearsals were held and concept tests were beautiful moments but
Slowly the cracks began to dispute over way over leadership on concept
Then week after week retired one and another and another and ...
After a year the group disbanded
It does not stick and things do not connect to hopefuls Despair is a slight feeling Zero hope
Elite 2 Ofer indeed
A doll flies and sits down.
On the way you get tired you find yourself walking around with a sore body and a rotating trout soul doing chores
The full diary is compressed for a moment to breathe? Then comes the moment when you decide to pick yourself up and break a savings plan And look for the horizon elsewhere perhaps where hope will gather into an open horizon and faith will emerge
Takes off the chores and deletes days in the diary Buying a ticket and traveling far
Milli - India
Esti - House Monologue 2
. It took me an hour to convince her to get dressed, they changed clothes 5 times, made breakfast, packed a suitcase for the garden, scolded them, and hurried off, they stopped next to any frayed puppy and screamed, "How cute, can I pet?" And a wounded cat, "Poor thing, mother, is it a boy or a girl?" Every noble flower that falls "Yaaa, pink flower, I like pink the most", and snail "can I take?" And beetle, "Ladybug, mother, let's bring to the garden" Bench I hurried them before they closed the gate, which is opened to latecomers (which is always us, according to the teacher's proving gaze) at exactly 9 to five minutes on the clock
I came home, exhausted, longing to go back to bed, recently, I get very nervous, and restless at home
I have managed in recent years not to turn on radio every hour, not even in half flashes, I canceled the subscription to all newspapers, my home page is not Walla and not and net and no news updates, I only reach Facebook after the day is over and TV is limited to Channel 42, Hop. Hope, Hope,
And yet reality invades, it starts on the phone the morning my brother Ronnie updates who's dead (he starts the morning early, and in obituaries) continues to my mom, who just can not believe I do not know what's going on in the world, has a hard time believing it is my wish and insists on updating me on what Ronny did not. Then in friends who update me on what's going on In "industry" in funds, in theaters, in photography, and the conversation of course begins with "You do not believe how corrupt, corrupt, corrupt, corrupt, corrupt, for all its biases And for dessert The daily SMS from the bank, your balance is a total of, minus so and so that pertains to the framework or outside it ,,
Ten in the morning, tired, exhausted, I want to go back to sleep, where do you find hope? You mean, like, saltines and their ilk, eh?
Yes ,, children is hope !, although since they were born I am much fatter, much more tired and much much poorer, and yet, children is joy
Uriel, 11 years old, but I already see him as a soldier, in uniform, losing his wise, innocent look.
The girls are five years old, God how many pedophiles have been caught here, how many students have abused girls in their class or younger, how many rapists roam free and have not undergone chemical neutering ?? Despair !!!
Well, I already understand this is not my day, so maybe I should go out for coffee? I will read newspapers in the coffee in the sun I will meet dozens of optimistic people who sit in cafes with a laptop and write their next script, with which they will crack the formula
Phone, Marvan, friends what are you doing? I'm going to drink coffee, "You Jews live well, despair, since when did I become a Jew, I once had a first name, a nickname, when I became a" Jew "I once had hope
Milli-Arabs
Elite - begins with reading in the dark
At the same time, a light rises on the doll and Ofer slowly pulls her out of the hall
Then a video in which she talks about going downstairs
:
Say they say, well then how are you here?
I'm a little embarrassed, the decision has not yet been made..I'm still here for quite a few years.
I got home, I answer, absurd, I continue, throwing the newspaper and going down with my son to the garden.
They come down after me, some running, some pushing, all waving some sort of statement.
You see here you are not alone, they arrange their breath for themselves, whether you like it or not, it is not
a question.
..Say I say, what do you care if I'm here or there? After all, there is already enough here for a country
So small.
My son is already running, I can not ...
So this is what matters, they have come up with a point, and there should always be something else to express his opinion on the situation
The terrible.
And unpleasant to complain to when only a few. And it is important for a generation to grow up that will learn the possibility of change.
Because we are a little tired, we asked non-stop, and from the beginning we are run by a lack of choice.
I suddenly realize that there is no choice here, what a relief ... I can live quietly as an old woman without a decision.
In the garden that takes place, - Ofer and Galit
(Esti And Ofer put the pictures in boxes)
Galit - it does not stick. Things do not connect in the hope that one project does not succeed towards
I started asking artists around me whether ..? And they They said yes!
We set out for the third time each artist made 3 pieces of hope beginning middle and end
And we put it all together into one show that came up together in March 2010
Go find Hope in our country ninety-seven percent despair and 3 percent hope
Two days after me I was in the hospital with a broken back
In the sound behind a laugh of walking with Esti who goes through in volume the word hope.
Esti lights a beacon
At the same time, the wall is being rebuilt - Ofer David David and Galit
