“Sur un chemin perdu, vers un pays perdu. Mutterseelenallein.”
Lebanese theatre director Caroline Hatem has adapted Anna Seghers’ TRANSIT to the present Syrian context of displacement and emigration. Mirroring the situation in France in 1940, the play is set in Lebanon, where Syrians are impatiently waiting for visas or for occasions to flee, and where the narrator becomes a Syrian emigrant we follow in Tripoli’s streets and cafés.
With one actor on stage, live music and an extensive use of digital scenography to summon the city by the sea, TRANSIT TRIPOLI pays tribute to Seghers’ unique and lively voice, and its appeal to one’s inner space and freedom, ballads and gaze, while subjected to the implacability of History.
