Salomé Lamas has developed work for cinemas, museums, and galleries in which she attempts to dissolve the border between documentary and fiction. “Fatamorgana” is her first work for the stage.

In this political parody, a woman finds herself in a wax museum in the suburbs of Beirut after closing. Historic and contemporary figures such as Hosni Mubarak, Yasser Arafat, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Saddam Hussein, Georges W. Bush, Bashar al-Assad, and the Shortest Man in the World appear, like ghosts, to strike up conversation with Hanan. What good are words if no one hears them?
