PROGRAM NOTE
Three DayDreams was written during one of the toughest times in the history of my country, the state of Israel. An ongoing war, danger everywhere, fleeing out of home for a safer shelter, and witnessing my country, abducted by corrupt and crazy leadership, killing and starving millions of civilians, and abandoning our own people’s kidnapped prisoners at Gaza - all for the sake of political survival.
The title of the piece reflects my feeling while working on it - moments of anxious daydreaming within the hard feelings of our reality, alongside moments of hazy relaxed daydreaming of another reality.
May we all get to live in piece, be kind, honest, and good to ourselves and to one another - Gazans, Jews, Muslims. Live and let live.
