Untitled
Accounts from political prisoners
1.90 m x 90 cm; 25 m x 5 m; 1.60 m x 60 cm – those are the dimensions of the cells belonging to seven Lebanese men who will tell us about their imprisonment on stage. They each spent between ten and fifteen years of their lives as political prisoners in Syrian prisons. Despite the inhumane conditions in the prisons, they found moments of solidarity with each other. The seven men are still struggling with their return to society after their release today. Hauntingly – and sometimes humorously – they give an account of their experiences in this piece of documentary theatre, thereby also giving themselves and those still in prison a voice.
Untitled was created in collaboration with former political prisoners from the Association of Lebanese Political Detainees in Syria (LPDS)and in cooperation with the NGO UMAM Documentation & Research, which works on coming to terms with and documenting war and violence against the civil population in Lebanon. Seven Lebanese men who were political detainees in Syrian prisons bear witness. In their own words, they share their experiences during the ten to 15 years they were imprisoned, and remind us of those who still are.
