ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
The opera revolves, like the original myth, around the acceptance of Abel’s sacrifice and the rejection of Cain’s, leading to the first homicide. Librettist Yossefa Even-Shoshan, however, expands the story and enriches it, and also alters several key elements. The most important is that both brothers sacrifice their Lambs –portrayed as part lamb, part lover. The Lambs appear on stage as full-fledged feminine characters; the split between lambs and humans only takes place after the murder.
