About this event
Scorched
By Wajdi Mouawad
Translated by Linda Gaboriau
Directed by Hiyam Mahrat
Twin siblings, Simon and Janine, living in Canada, unravel the secrets of their mother’s past, Nawal, after her death amidst the haunting echoes of Lebanon’s civil war. In a quest that spans continents and generations, they discover the truth behind many years of Nawal’s deafening silence and explore their origins through her story. As the past collides with the present, they come to understand the interconnected roots of their family’s narrative and their tangled realities.
