My Brother's Keeper

Sahand Sahebdivani/Raphael Rodan
wo 7 okt en do 8 okt

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.

“In a world that constantly demands us to take sides, our friendship itself becomes an act of resistance. 
The story of Cain & Abel is not ancient — it happens every day we forget that our enemy is also our 
brother.” Raphael & Sahand
