Bechol Lashon presents a unique and creative visual book talk May 13 at 6:30pm at the Marlene Meyerson JCC in Manhattan, with the writer and visual artist of the award-winning Israeli graphic novel ‘The Last Day to Dress Up’. (In English).
A unique creative session with Yossi, the writer, and Yarden, the illustrator, as they bring to life the story of 10-year-old Yossi, and his immigration story from Ethiopia to Israel. Using animation, a live painting performance & readings with illustrated slides, they showcase how art and storytelling merge in a graphic novel and how a personal immigration journey transforms into a superhero comic book.
Yossi Vassa is an expert in storytelling. With a career spanning theater, television, film, and literature, he’s earned prestigious awards and performed across the world, including Broadway. In 2018, he won an International Emmy Award for his sitcom Nevsu, which he created, wrote, and starred in, while making audiences laugh on Hamisrad, the Israeli version of The Office. Now, Yossi invites us alongside him on this journey in his autobiographical graphic novel, The Last Day to Dress Up (in English), and to attend a visual book talk hosted by Be’chol Lashon in collaboration with the Marlene Meyerson JCC in Manhattan on May 13.
