Fires

After Birds of a kind, Marco Lorenzi returns to Wajdi Mouawad's powerful dramaturgy and tackles this modern tragedy, which has its roots in the myth of Oedipus and reverses its perspective.

At the centre of this story is Nawal, a woman who experiences the violence of history and attempts to break its emotional chains. Pain, silence, and anger are transmitted from one generation to the next as an invisible legacy, and memory becomes the ground on which everything that has been silenced must be faced. In Fires the truth must be conquered and crossed

Wajdi Mouawad was born in Lebanon in 1968 and today lives in exile between Paris and Montreal. His works are performed all over the world and represent an essential reference of contemporary theatre.
