Guest: Raphael Rodan & Sahand Sahebdivani

A music-theatre storytelling show about the origins of polarization - and the strength of chosen brotherhood

Two storytellers, an Israeli and an Iranian, meet on stage to face the conversation that divides the world outside: Why do we turn on each other? What forces feed violence and separation? Through the ancient story of Cain & Abel, Raphael and Sahand explore jealousy, love, and the human need to belong. Their personal friendship, once a celebration of dialogue across borders, is now tested by real-world politics and growing polarisation. With live music on duduk, percussion, and voice, My Brother’s Keeper weaves myth and memory, humour and heartbreak, in a raw, intimate performance that moves between storytelling, ritual and concert.

storytellers: Raphael Rodan and Sahand Sahebdivani | musicians: Sjahin During, Grigor Kartashyan and Mary Aygetsy | director: Titus Tiel Groenestege | set & technical design: Mirko Lazović | produced by: Stichting Seraphim
