In Hartaqãt Lina Majdalanie and Rabih Mroué bring together the texts of three contemporary Lebanese authors : academicus and activist Rana Issa, novelist Souhaib Ayoub and poet and journalist Bilal Khbeiz. All of them are living in exile although they have never really left Lebanon. Their portraits, framed by the music of Raed Yassin, bear witness to the courage and the suffering of people who cross borders – whether it's about countries, sexes, languages or social class. Via stories they tell us about oppression and the weight of the past but also about ways to survive and futures that have to be invented beyond borders.

With their characteristic irony, sense of deconstruction and inventiveness Majdalanie and Mroué examine the history of their native country Lebanon. This creation is the result of cooperation – between writers but also between dance, music and visual art. Together they explore the crossroads and frictions between reality and fiction, between history and myth, between the Arabic and European consciousness.
