The School of Speculative Documentary is an interdisciplinary space for encounter that seeks to question the documentary act. Creators take the floor to discuss uncertainty and guesswork, to confront the unfixable holes in their work and the messiness of reality.

This afternoon focuses on Syrian theatre and on the work of a young generation of contemporary playwrights.

Three Seconds alludes to the average length of a dream: that intense, condensed moment of emotions and memories, of multiple faces and details. This performance is an invitation to journey through the intimate corridors of the performer’s mind, towards her dreams.

A café in Damascus. A young woman mingles begins to tell her story. She was arrested arbitrarily at the start of the Syrian Revolution and was kept prisoner by the regime for years. Ever since the moment of her release, she has been going around the cafés, restaurants and bars of the Syrian capital to break the silence about the inhuman conditions in prison and the disappearance of thousands of women.
