Description: 
A play based on different individual trajectories and the memory of four individuals who lived through the the Lebanese Civil War. In this play, the audience immerses itself in a journey undertaken by four characters: a war photographer, a female singer, a female bookshop owner and a university professor who is also a member of a political party. The aim is to try to recover memories in the context of the present. The idea developed when the director found out that only a few of her students knew of the Lebanese Civil War.
