Connecting different spaces and times, the plurality of these maps immerses us in an artistic exploration that is both demanding and full of imagination of these fields of life. We thus become more able to understand the complexity, the meaning and the articulation of these two notions that are dignity and revolt.

Between 1988 and 1990, an improvised theatre troupe made up of political prisoners put on several plays in a prison near Damascus. Over time, these performances become more and more accomplished. The troupe invented everything they needed to put on a real show. They created tickets and brochures, and developed techniques for lighting, sound effects and music. The house built by Swift represents the last of these shows in 1990, the only traces of which reside in the memory of this troupe and its 'audience'. Based on interviews with actors from the troupe and their audience, Waël Ali and Simon Dubois attempt to reconstruct the show as it was, shot by shot, exactly as it was. For this performance, they open the doors of their workshop, which they began two years ago, to share their work on this "reconstruction" with the audience.
