Halel (meaning ‘praise’ in Hebrew) is a poetic audiovisual journey. A solo live music performance, weaved with devotional poetries composed by Shye Ben Tzur, and filmed in the Augusta Victoria Church and on the outskirts of Jerusalem's sacred landscape. Halel is an artistic odyssey moving from meditation into ecstasy.
