Kna’an is a project that was born in the head of the Memmingen's Landestheater director - Walter Wayers. Wayers wrote a complete new play with his modern perspective about the familiar biblical story of Abraham in the land of Kna’an and was looking for someone to fit in writing the soundtrack and songs for this purpose. That's how a co-production between Kobi Farhi (Orphaned Land) and Erez Yohanan (Amaseffer) was born.

Singer and frontman Kobi Farhi comments: “Anyone who have seen already an unplugged show of Orphaned Land knows that it's an unforgettable experience. We are super excited to finally have our first ever acoustic tour accompanied by the Stimmgewalt male/female choir. It's always nice to strip our songs with different arrangements and we are eager to go back on the roads! I've waited a long time to take my "Jesus white dress" out of the closet and I guarantee it is going to be a holy musical experience, something to remember. See you all very soon!”
