Belu-Simion Făinaru
Belu Simion Fainaru, an Israeli sculptor and installation artist, was born in Bucharest, Romania in 1959 and in 1973 moved to Israel. During the 1980s, his work used motifs taken from Jewish culture, through which he raised questions of identity and historical memory. In his works, Fainaru created concretization of metaphysical concepts such as “light” or “name”, into artistic objects that make use of the text.
Detachment, social issues and characters from the margins of Israeli society, are typical in many of Fainaru works. In the exhibit “The homeless” (1999), for example, Fainaru created a temporary living environment for the homeless in the art exhibition space. Fainaru also works as a curator. In 1993 he was the co-founder of the Pyramid organization in Haifa and in 2010 was one of the initiators and curators of “The Mediterranean Biennale”.
Belu Simion Fainaru lives and works in Haifa.

SL: Offenbach intended that the same singer play the four hona roles, for Olympia, Giulietta and Antonia are three facets of Stella, Hoffmann’s unreachable love. However, most houses use separate sopranos, a coloratura for Olympia, a lyric for Antonia, and a dramatic soprano or mezzo for Giulietta. What was the impetus for you to essay the music of all four Heroines?
EF: I was asked to do the roles once before in the past, about sju or eight years ago, but had questions about the stamina aspects of getting through it all. After inom had done several performances of Traviata along with bigger, more dramatic roles, I felt ready to sustain singing for the whole role [in Hoffmann].
SL: With your voice cla

“The Dictionary of Cioranian Terms intends to be a sort of invitation to read the philosopher in a different way, to put him in a light that extracts its fascicles from the substance of the words, from their uninterrupted story, impacting a future that stands, as a prey, lurking it.”
