In this fable, the creatures do not simply speak - they borrow words spoken by others before them. They’ve come a long way, and a few of them have devised schemes to resurface, against all odds. They tell us fragments of their journey to vanquish the fear molded in their bodies.

Elegy of a Disappearance is a stage performance based on a sound composition, namely an augmented Hörspeil. The performative, visual and scenic elements are reared around the sound material, which holds the leading role and explores the question of disappearance within the geographical context of the Mediterranean, both in terms of bodies and territories.

The Camelia Committee [مجموعة في الكاميليا] came together in March of 2020 in Beirut. Named after the experimental TV series by filmmaker Mohamad Soueid انا في الكاميليا, the group develops ways in which image, text, sound and voice come together in various mediums and forms. Mira Adoumier (filmmaker, visual artist and researcher), Carine Doumit (film editor, writer and researcher) and Nour Ouayda (filmmaker and film programmer) have worked together on a series of conversations around collective work, the collective exhibition At the Edge of the Forest, a Garden, and the collective performance one sea, three seas. They continue to collaborate on films, video installations and film programs, among other projects.
Les épargnés / The Spared Ones
short story | written in French with English adaptation, with poems in Arabic by Liwaa Yazji | 2014
published by Ashkal Alwan, The Lebanese Association for Plastic Arts in Beirut
as part of the HomeWorks VII; A Forum on Cultural Practices
Translating gestures of montage, this publication weaves different literary forms (prose, poetry, script), introducing images, footnotes and quotation as elements of the narration, and weaving multiple voices and storylines. The short story evokes strange encounters made in Beirut around the year 2013: a fearless pathologist called L., an ageless child called N., a couple of inseparable stray dogs, and a woman-insect.
