So Little Time

Rabih Mroué

theatre

Beyrouth / Berlin l duration : 60' l performance in Arabic and French with Arabic and French surtitles
 

In an ironic take on current affairs and the codes of documentary theatre, Rabih Mroué tells the story of a Lebanese martyr and explores the notion of historical truth and the myths and icons fabricated by political communication. 

On a stage reminiscent of the darkroom of a press photographer, Lina Majdalanie, Rabih Mroué’s favourite actress, walks towards the audience to tell the story of Dib-Al-Asmar, a presumed martyr for whom a monument was erected, but who finally reappeared. From that moment on, his story is in crisis. Did he really exist?  What are we going to do with his statue? Who was buried in his stead? Working somewhere between fiction and documentary, the Lebanese director wryly explores History, its myths, the way it can be rewritten, and its relative truths. This work reminds us that in the Middle East “the living use death and people’s fascination with its symbols as a political weapon.”
