Join the lead creatives of the Dramatic Arts’ Mainstage production of Scorched and guest scholars for a free ranging conversation about the play Scorched and DART’s production.  With a focus on creative approaches to story-telling in performance and design, dramatic literature in translation, our shifting relationships with text and memory, and the experience of women of colour negotiating pain and invisibility, this will be followed by a Q&A.

Scorched: Mini Symposium

First Ontario Performing Arts Centre

Scorched, originally written in French in 2003 by Lebanese Canadian playwright Wajdi Mouawad, tells the story of Nawal, a woman who fled a country tormented by violence, and her twins, Jeanne and Simon, raised in Quebec. Following Nawal’s death, the twins receive two of her letters: one to be delivered to their father, believed dead, and the other to a brother they didn’t know they had. The twins must return to their mother’s war-torn country to carry out her last wishes – to find their father and brother. Thus begins a painful journey in a foreign land.
