Chrystèle Khodr
The Rise and Fall of Orient Swiss – Bedtime Stories
Lebanon was once called the «Orient Swiss». According to theatre-maker Chrystèle Khodr’s listening piece, this is just a modern myth fostered by Youssef Beidas, the founder of Intra Bank. He embodies the disintegration of Lebanon like nobody else does, she states. The ominous collapse of his bank in the 1960s has had a lasting effect on the collective memory of a country still struggling with the consequences of numerous catastrophes. (zts)
