Hazira presents an original theatrical dance production based on the story by famed Israeli novelist Shai Agnon. The Mill Owner and the Miller is a Hasidic folktale concerning a miracle performed by Rabbi Motele from Chernobyl, considered the rabbi of both the living and the dead. The story tells of a Chasid who would visit the rabbi every year, but was forced one year by his own poverty to remain at home. And so sit the Chasid, his wife and his sons in a darkened room, their oven extinguished, feeling as yet-unburied dead. The Chasid, unable to bear the sorrow in his house any longer, leaves and prays to the rabbi to come to his aid. All of a sudden he hears the sound of a chariot drawn by four horses and sees his rabbi, Rabbi Motele, sitting in it with one other man. Mystery, miracles, hope and the principles of wisdom fill this wonderful story written in the poetic language of Agnon and staged for the first time with the combination of dance and prose.
