A group of citizens whose
lives have been effected by the Rabin Square (previously called
the Kings of Israel Square) set out to change the Municipal
plan to demolish and reconstruct the square. What makes this
giant, somewhat broken and neglected spot in the center of Tel-Aviv
such an important place in the lives of these people and the
rest of us?
History is viewed through a place, a venue which comes alive
with new emotions, personal stories, national dramas, and every
day life. This is the place, as in every town’s history,
which sees, absorbs, experiences, but cannot tell. We will tell.
We will tell our own story through this place which has become
the Arena, the town square which still draws people by the thousands
to celebrate, protest, and mourn. |
