Just like a kaleidoscope, Data Mossoul stages: a web engineer whose lost part of her memory, a librarian who collects anonymous writings, an archeologist and Ashurbanipal, an Assyrian king and scribe. Each in their own geographical space, time and civilization, these four characters are connected by the concepts of preservation of narratives and transmission of History. Through this journey, we will also encounter Gilgamesh, a historical Sumerian king who is devoured by his eagerness to reach immortality and the first hero in the history of humanity. 

Data Mossoul is a play which tackles the power of writing in its relation to the intimate but also to memory, civilization, time, the Other, life, death and absence. Confusion between information and truth, proliferation of images, the pathway towards what could be called privatization of memory are all themes which Josephine Serre explores within the meanders of her trip through the writing or the rewriting of History.
