So much in it... It happened in a restaurant in my area with a view to the sea. Still first time I was there inside (and probably also the last if won't be there another flamenco show). Just in case you didn't see the publishing here, forgot or not really focused - I mean to a show which included Adva Yermiyahu (dance), Noa Drezner (guitar), Ofir Atar (sing and at some of parts also played a guitar) and Maayan Doari (percussions).
I came early to catch a good place. Outside I met Noa (who apologized that she's sick and it's better she won't get near me), Ofir and Maayan. After "hello" and after a short conversation - Noa sent me in. I made a try to catch one of the tables near what looked like a stage. One of the waiters got into stress from it cause "those places are reserved" (no matter there was no sign for it). I was looking for another place. A girl said that me and another one can join her table, they are a couple and there is a place for more people. I thanked her and joined this table. The other woman joined the table next to us. German tourists who probably came by chance and didn't know what's about to happen.
As far it was a restaurant - I ordered something to eat, but something easy (the hour and fact I didn't want to go with a big hole in my pocket in the end). Horrible service, at my case they thought I should eat with my hands, for the couple I joined their table - the waiter almost forgot to bring them their order. By this time the girl I sat next to her asked the waiter when would the show start. Half an hour. Already after the time of invitation... When I finally started to eat - came the bata girl from Neta's studio. She came with a friend. At the start they passed me by, but a moment they found a table of their own she noticed me. She came to say hello and kissed my cheeks like we're old friends. It was a bit weird but it's hard to say that I suffered. She asked me if I know who else would come. No I don't, I even know about someone who told me who won't be able to come. She told me that she heard about it from the Russian girl. I told her that I knew about it through Adva. She looked surprised. After this weird talk she got back to her friend. A moment after - the Russian girl came with her husband. Another table. I signed the bata girl where is the Russian girl. At another table next to me sat a witch who I know through two workshops... Another one who made a little try to look nice (yeah, right.... take your broom and get away). Till show has started - many people filled the restaurant till some sat on garden chairs without any table.
The show itself has started with a late of 40 minutes. Hard to see because of number of people and the way of restaurant built like. For a start - a buleria (if I remember correct). Noa, Ofir and Maayn of some like a stage. People were still talking like nothing happened. After a short part - Ofir said it's a bit hard so if it's possible a bit silence (still some noise). He introduced the musicians. He said that next part will be an alegria and for that Adva will join for a dancing part. Adva came thorough the people to stage while wearing a velvet dress in colour turquoise. Not sure I saw this dress before. Adva was unique as she always, another prove that I can enjoy an alegria when others dance it. The audience became silence accept palmas and "regular" hands claps. Even the German tourists started to show some curiosity. I stood up in a try to see better. After a while I saw one of the German tourist makes me a sign to look back. By this time I noticed someone touch me from behind, One of the waitresses looked at me like she's about to kill me. She said that I hide to others. I didn't even notice that they are there, now I noticed and saw saw that they also look at like "burn her on the altar". The waitress said that if I want to stand I must stand behind, if not - I must sit. I sat, she went away while staring me as long as possible in a kill look. Great, I came early for standing behind? Are you joking? The alegria finished a bit later on. Adva joined the cuadro for palmas.
There were few more musical parts. I wan't really into finding out which palos any longer. The fellows were great, but I started to wonder if it was a good idea to come. It wasn't their fault, only the place which I think wasn't good enough for them. Adva stood up for another dance. Once I had a little argue with the witch. She moved a bit and it was harder to see. Once she and the romantic girl got too close to each other till I couldn't see a thing. The romantic girl didn't give a damn a thing, the witch noticed only after the girl I sat next to her helped me. The witch of course was the next to wish for my death. After few parts Ofir said that tey are about to take a brake, but before it they will make a tango. That was a short part. Ofir sang a letra which I know very well from the improvisation classes that I take this year. Adva made a dance for it which looks very different from the style that I learn dancing to it.
A brake. I wondered a bit more if I want to stay. Great artists which made a great job and still I couldn't really enjoy it. At the end - I made my choice to stay. After all - Adva didn't see that I came and I wanted a chance to talk with her and let her know that I came, and this is before mansion the musicians who did see that I came and I noticed something that made me think it won't be a good idea to tell them the reason for I went away in the middle (although again - NOT their fault). I found out it was good that I stayed. Some other people went away includes the romantic couple, it less claustrophobic (I have no fear from that, but in cases like this it isn't too nice) and it was easier to see. Even the witch made a try to look like she cares if she's hiding me or not.
Adva changed her dress. A black one this time. One more part - music and dance. I started to relax and enjoy. Eitan Bartal was there. They didn't say a thing that he's a part of show, but Ofir introduced Eitan and called him for stage. Eitan took Ofir's place and Noa's guitar. Only Maayan went on with him. Eitan sand and played the guitar. That part was a rumba. I didn't know this rumbe before but it was a cool one and after this evening so far I was happy that I recognized the palo. When it was over - Noa and Ofir got their places and guitars. Ofir told what was it. Happy I found out myself. I said so, didn't I?
A bit more music. After few more parts - Ofir said that they are about to finish with the purest flamenco, the most jondo. Great! A siguiryia just for me! One amazing siguiryia for the end. At this part Adva got back dancing.
Fin la fiesta. Very few joined from the audience. Adva danced. Ofir a moment after her. One brave girl from audience who joined them danced as well. A bow down.
I paid for my meal. The waiter was waiting even for the tip. For that not even that hurry up - the waiter waits next to you for the money. He looked disappointed from my tip although it was like it's accepted and I'm not sure the service was worth it. After that I went to talk with Adva. Hugs of course. The musicians felt like saying "hello" again. Noa asked me if I enjoyed. The show itself? Of course, anything that I heard and saw. Maayan didn't ask that but sent hand to hand for asking how am I doing. Cool... Adva asked me as well if I enjoyed. No! With artists like that? She thanked me for coming. Fine, I have a dog to take for a night walk. Good that I have a reason to run away, I hope I won't have a good reason to come back there
