(Marc Israel Sellem) Sher: Our line is one that challenges the existing options through bringing the changes occurring in the world outside here – the new trends, the new approaches – and this we can do because we are a sponsored institution, we can take risks that a private pro- ducer will never take. To bring things here that are happening abroad, but nobody will bring here, except us, the Israel Festival. As for music, we see that good things regarding classical music are already taking place here, so we don’t feel we have to contribute something special on top of that.

But from what I see in the program, it’s like introducing a new artistic language. Music is intertwined with dance, with the- ater, not standing by itself. Is it on purpose? Jolly: Let’s say that we are now in a world that is "post." It is a world of post-theater, post-genre, post-dance. It enlarges our exis- tence and our perception. I want to add that if art is not that thing that will bring down walls, we would still be trying to copy the works of Titian. But we’re not there anymore, obviously. That’s the task of art – being busy all the time to conquer new territories to look into new possibilities, new horizons, new options.

Do you believe that the Israel of 2019 is the right place for these experiences? Jolly: Every place is the right place for these experiences. That’s exactly what the human spirit is about. That’s a question raised all the time and everywhere. Certainly, wherever the freedoms – of expression or artistic or civil – may be getting narrower, the most important and the right thing to do is to flood in new blood and spirit and freedom of artistic and cultural expression. That’s the most important thing to do now. Here and everywhere, now and all the time. Because this is something that is for good. And the first reason why it is necessary is because the natural tendency of every society and sector is to stick to what is familiar, in fact, to stagnate. Life – and hence art – is a "becoming| process, a process of change all the time. Sher: I think the question is also about how far these messages fit the state of mind of the population we are addressing.

Do you have enough of an audience for this? Sher: This is our fifth festival, and yes, we have more of an audi- ence, growing year after year. There is also a change in the charac- Israel Festival 2019: ter of the audience. More than 20% of the audience is young adults. That was not the case a few years ago.
