Circus
Hidden in the dark corners of Valencia, a strange glimmer of worn yet vibrant costumes, signs and caravans shines around the faded big top of the Jamayca circus. A strange burst of colors and energy erupt an otherwise drab landscape, evoking a Felliniesque ambience of grotesque yet surreal characters who recite in a tragicomic drama. Far away from the romantic adventures of Zampanò, tragedy reigns...   see more »

That way last week West Jerusalem held its gay parade with a total victory (virgins and booty). Four years ago Tel Aviv, with its incomparably more tolerant spirit, supported the event; the same year such a march wasn’t...   see more »

Gush Katif without return
The palms are tossing their heads in the wind on the white sands of the shore, a kind of whiteness no longer to be found on the shore strip of Israel; they create an illusion of tropical landscape. From a distance the view is enchanting, but only to those capable of successfully skipping over the sight of the dreadfully wretched huts situated on the sides of the road that leads from the Gaza settlement...   see more »
