"If you speak it, it's no legend" is a sound installation made up of four original pieces composed by Polish and Israeli composers. The pieces all use the voices of non-Jewish speakers living in Israel – foreign workers and refugees from different origins, and Hebrew for them is mainly a language of communication.

The project, prepared by “Turning Sounds” association and the Israeli group of performers Sala-Manca, will be unforgettable experience in exploring the musical and expressive qualities of human speech.
