As part of the opening night of CHRONIQUES — The Biennial of Digital Imaginaries.
Project supported as part of the Institut Français’s Saison Méditerranée 2026.

Created by three Lebanese artists—Kinda Hassan (composer), Racha Baroud (performer), and Carine Doumit (writer and editor)— *Élégie d’une disparition* is a performance based on a sound-driven narrative that explores the disappearance of memory, bodies, and territories in the Mediterranean region. 

The work is composed of fragments of sound, visual, and textual material, drawn from field research conducted in Marseille, Cairo, and Beirut. It draws as much from the personal stories of each individual as from collective history, and these fragments function as traces of memory that resist the erasure inflicted upon these regions. 

On stage, the artists take turns and come together to use these fragments to create scenes that blend imagery, voices, movement, and electroacoustic compositions.
