Description

Simon, Méli, and Camille are getting ready to put on a show. They're quite drawn to documentary theatre. The opportunity has presented itself...<div> Simon brought them a small cardboard box containing an undeveloped disposable camera. What photos does it hold? What ghosts?</div><div><br></div><div> According to initial clues, they might have come from far away, from a country that no longer exists – the GDR (German Democratic Republic) – and from a time before their birth. Before the fall of the Berlin Wall. But how can one document a place that no longer exists? While awaiting development day, fantasies run rampant, and the fiction machine spins wild to fill in the gaps in history and answer their questions.</div><div><br></div><div> On stage, silhouettes gradually emerge, giving shape and substance to this mysterious, vanished country. Characters or actors, it's difficult to distinguish them. Time slips away from us, like when we look at a photograph; we are propelled to two places and two eras simultaneously. The only anchor: the stories we tell ourselves. Welcome to East Germany; if you're lost, follow the ghosts!</div><div><br></div>
