During Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles), this performance merges ancient liturgical chant with experimental noise music, exploring the space where prayer sounds like music and words become tone.

Shaul Dahan (1995, Israel) is a Jerusalem-based composer, synthesist and sound artist. Originating from the Ultra-Orthodox community, Dahan marries liturgical texts, biblical prayers, and vocals with electronic music, channeling the compulsive and ecstatic dimensions of religious devotion into an intense and uncompromising practice. In his live performances, he feeds electricity through unpredictable circuits via a modular analog synthesizer, generating a ritualistic sonic space that moves fluidly between fragile silence and raw sonic chaos. His work has been presented at galleries, festivals, and art events internationally, including Ars Electronica Festival 2024 (Linz), Mamuta Art and Research Center (Jerusalem, 2025), Museum of Italian Jewish Art (Jerusalem, 2025), and Chemnitz, Leipzig, and Berlin (2026).

Shlomo Pozner (b. 1996) is a Jewish artist based in Berlin. Raised in Jerusalem within an Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, he studied at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design before continuing his Fine Arts studies at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK). Pozner’s practice investigates the shifting relationship between spirituality, cultural memory, and contemporary identity. Working across photography, sculpture, and installation, he draws on the visual and material vocabulary of Judaism, relocating ritual objects and religious symbols from their traditional contexts into contemporary artistic frameworks. Rather than affirming or rejecting inherited traditions, his work examines how symbols acquire new meanings through displacement, repetition, and reinterpretation. Situated between the personal and the collective, his practice considers how religious aesthetics continue to shape questions of belonging, memory, and cultural continuity in the present.
