Yuri Lane takes a little CNN and sprinkles it generously with some MTV in From Tel Aviv to Ramallah: A Beatbox Journey, a one-man hip-hop show about the Middle East conflict that opens today at Center Stage.
"It can be hard to find the perfect adjective to describe something," Lane said. "Sometimes, you can express things better with music and sound than with words."
The self-titled "hip-hop Jew," who has several television, film and theater credits to his name, uses beatbox, mime, song and dance to tell the story of two towns and two young men striving for normality amid the surrounding strife of the conflict.
