National Theatre Live on Screen | Hamlet

Academy Award® nominee Benedict Cumberbatch takes on the title role of Shakespeare’s great tragedy. As a country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart. Forced to avenge his father’s death but paralysed by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state.

“One of the most visually and atmospherically stunning productions I’ve ever seen, of anything, ever” (Time Out).

Dir.:Lyndsey Turner
W.:Benedict Cumberbatch

Sela Jazz Club #2 Turkish Fusion | Ras el Hanout

The second in a series of performances by quality jazz ensembles at the Sela Bar, with a talented ensemble that combines classical and folk Turkish music with Western music influences.

Ras el Hanout is a stormy and surprising ensemble that combines classical and folk Turkish music and electric instruments, western musicality and pure pleasure, the streets of Istanbul steeped in a groovy Western vibe. Turkish music is already a kind of fusion of elements from all over the Ottoman Empire, the Middle East and the Balkans. The ensemble is further mixed with a fresh and surprising blend of bağlama and clarinet with bass, drums and keyboards, of Turkish melodies and rhythms with jazzy harmonic sensitivity, funk aromas and electrifying electric energy. The members of Ras el Hanout devote heart and soul to playing music that is touching, uncompromising, spectacular and exciting. The ensemble recently performed at the Sufi Festival, Mediterranee Festival, East West House, Tammuz House of Music and more.

Elad Cohen (clarinet) | Asher Farber (bağlama and other) | Yehoshua Levy (piano) | Bar Geva (bass) | Matan Deri (drums)
