The story of the haunted House is a metaphor and microcosm at the same time.
Actors and musicians come from Israel, Palestine, Iran and France. They speak and sing in Hebrew, Arabic, English, French, Yiddish, Armenian and Turkish. T
his human microcosmos attempts to outline a dialogue as well as the conflict, while voicing the archaeology of memories.
