Uriel Luft, producer: They have an incredible energy which shows in their performance and I think this is probably one of the things that gives them the most response from the audience because the audience feels that and that’s also one of their aims is to give to the audience – this show is called “Heartbeat” – you know, their heart and their love and their enthusiasm for what they do, and also their commitment to what they do.
