Bethlehem, West Bank, July-August
2014. Rebecca Topakian went in search of ghosts, following the advice of
sorcerers and witches she met in Bethlehem. If she went to the market of the
old city in the dead of night, they told her, she would find a beautiful nun
and a British soldier. Though she spent the night in the market, she did not
find them; she did, however, stumble upon teenagers who haunt the place and
drive the spectator to the imaginary place of a mythology mixing family
history, treasures of kings, djinns and Israeli spies.
