In northern Lebanon, in the Nahr el Bared refugee camp, a buried history resurfaces. There, where Palestinian families fleeing the Nakba in 1948 found refuge, a war breaks out in 2007. The camp is destroyed. Beneath its ruins, the remains of Orthosia emerge, a Roman city that disappeared since the tsunami of 551. Fifteen centuries of silence, suddenly broken. 

 But how to excavate without displacing those who live there again? How to make a ruin speak without erasing lives? 

 In this palimpsest performance, Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige blend video, narration, and presence to question what the ground holds—the layers of history, the absences, the invisible cities. Between construction and collapse, archives and imaginaries, they open a sensitive space where the past is illuminated by the light of today's conflicts. 

 A Vertiginous work, full of (dis)continuities, where art becomes excavation, and the stage, a territory of memory and resistance.
