Omri Sasi, one of the organizers of the Supernova rave, is showcasing a live set he created in commemoration of the October 7 massacre at the festival site.
“I was there on October 7 at the event. I survived the massacre in a miracle. I lost my family — my uncle, Avi Sasi from Los Angeles, my cousin, Nitzan Rahum and her boyfriend, Lidor Levy. Nitzan was pregnant. Some of my friends are still held hostage in Gaza,” he says.
He notes that the Supernova rave was one of the hardest hit locations on October 7, with close to 400 murdered and 41 kidnapped.
The set opens with a few scripted words from another one of Sasi’s cousins, who also managed to survive the massacre.
“She hid between the dead bodies, but the terrorists returned a few times, shooting her in the leg. Luckily she wasn’t injured.”
“I wrote a few words as a message of hope, and so that the entire world will know what we went through,” Sasi says.
At the track’s outset, his cousin reads: “We promised ourselves that we would still dance. We are all one strong network of collective energy… Music has the power to heal any wound.”
