Perform-autopsy

"Perform-autopsy" is the english title of "Mashrah Watani".
"Mashrah" is the morgue in which the Autopsy of bodies, machines, old writings... and maybe thoughts, takes place.
"Watani" is what pretends to belong to or is produced in a specific country, like Lebanon for instance.
"Perform-Autopsy" is a theater performance that puts history on the table of autopsy, questioning the individual and common responsibility towards past events that didn't pass unnoticed.
This performance gives the audience a chance to participate in a process of writing the unwritten history of Lebanon, relying on the popular memory of Lebanese people through the details, a memory which might be the only narrator of history.
