In 2000, Sandra Iché writes the story of L\'Orient-Express, a Beirut-based francophone magazine from the 1990s, founded and directed by the historian and journalist Samir Kassir. Ten years later, she conducts a new series of interviews with the former contributors to the publication. This time, however, the interviewees adopt a method designed to prevent speech from reproducing the real, a real doomed by the \"Arab misfortune\". Rather, the protocol of the encounters lends itself to fiction: the interviews take place in 2030, from where the past is remembered. By perpetuating chronologies, memory as a common space of nostalgia becomes a political and stylistic means of dislocating the present and of re-inventing its landscapes, its geo-political alliances and its modes of life.
As a dancer and historian she deconstructs the documentary apparatus where each element is deployed in single units - aural and visual archives, work notes, voice-over, testimony, framing and focus - and translates it into space. Thus she creates a performance pervaded by questions around the construction of history and our acts of narration.
