As Language of the Stones (2018)
A video art created by the artist
Dorit Feldman (1956-2020), inspired by the
first song of the Song Cycle "Girl Butterfly
Girl". Each word of Fuad Rifka's poem received
a magnificent visual treatment - sand, cavern
filled with light, melancholic stars...
all were interwoven into her own world,
and the name of the work "As Language of
the Stones" reflects that. Dorit used footage
from performance versions, Opus 4, in French,
Arabic and Hebrew. The texts were inserted
to the running video in the language sung
at that moment. The font of the Arabic,
Dorit chose, is especially conspicuous and
merges with the image of the stones.

Tsippi
"Girl Butterfly Girl" is Tsippi Fleischer's most-performed work. The texts are by Lebanese and Syrian poets; it follows that the original version of the song-cycle is in Arabic. The work has been performed throughout the world in numerous versions in many different languages and ensembles.
Regarding "As Language of the Stones" (2018).
Every word in Fuad Rifka's poem received a spectacular visual treatment - sand, a lit cave, the night of the stars... all these that the artist wove into her own world, and the name of the work "As Language of the Stones" reflects this. She used recordings from Opus 4 performance versions in French, Arabic and Hebrew. The texts were inserted into the video running in the language sung at that moment. Particularly striking is the Arabic font that merges with the image of the stones.
