French to English Participant, Lamia Karam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Lamia Karam (she\/her) is a trilingual actor and theatre artist based in Tiohti\u00e0:ke\/Montreal and a recent graduate of Concordia University\u2019s BFA in Acting for the Theatre. Raised as a third culture kid, she grew up moving between languages and cultures, a reality that continues to shape her artistic voice. Living between English, French, and Arabic has nurtured her curiosity about the ways language bridges, and sometimes defines our worlds. As a performer, Lamia is drawn to work that interrogates identity, culture, and selfhood. Collaboration and care are at the core of her process, and she strives to create spaces rooted in curiosity and connection. Her interest in theatre translation emerges from this same impulse: to bridge divides and make space for voices across linguistic and cultural lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
