While the Israeli delegation at Eurovision faces threats and verbal abuse, Canada is showing support and solidarity through a special and particularly moving audiovisual performance. The first-of-its-kind event was held Sunday night in Toronto, featuring a drone display above the Nova 06:29 exhibit created and directed by Reut Feingold in collaboration with Nova producer Omri Sassi, commemorating those murdered at the Nova music festival.

The powerful display of solidarity with Israel illuminated the Toronto skyline with 411 drones, each one commemorating a life lost in the Nova music festival attack. The drones created a moving audiovisual narrative portraying the stories of those murdered on October 7, 2023, bringing a message of remembrance to a city that has recently become known for conflict and numerous anti-Israeli demonstrations.

The spectacular aerial show delivered an unmistakable message of remembrance and resistance against the denial of the massacre. This Toronto event represents another milestone in the installation's international journey, which has already made appearances in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Tel Aviv, and Buenos Aires.
The memorial has been receiving global acclaim as one of the most emotionally powerful commemorative exhibits of our time, continuing its mission to honor the victims and ensure their stories are not forgotten.
