Ils sont 5 comme nous sommes 41,29 millions, au Canada. Ils sont 5 citoyen\u2219ne\u2219s qui font leur crisse de possible mais qu\u2019on accuse quand m\u00eame de construire une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de plus en plus individualiste et dans laquelle le \u00ab vivre ensemble \u00bb est cruellement mis \u00e0 mal. Il y a La fille de gauche, La fille \u00e0 son p\u00e8re, La queen des boutures, Le gars du dessous et Roger Bontemps qui s\u2019octroieront la mission d\u2019\u0153uvrer pour un mieux-\u00eatre collectif.

Blissful State of Surrender<\/em> explores refugee and immigrant experiences, the aftermath of war and genocide, and the intergenerational trauma that shapes family life. Confronting Canada\u2019s self\u2011image as a safe haven, the play reveals how internalized oppression can manifest as lateral violence within marginalized communities. Written in dedication to Fejzi\u0107\u2019s grandmother, a victim of the Bosnian genocide, it gives voice to histories often left unspoken. The story dramatizes the impacts of ethnic cleansing and islamophobia, the clash between parental values and their queer, feminist daughters, and the painful ways racism and homophobia circulate within families.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\nshow less<\/mark><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

L\u00e9o, 16, was in a fight at school. His mother locates him in an isolated area of the emergency wing with an injured wrist. The other boy is in a coma. What happened? Why this sudden violence? While they await a medical verdict that could turn everything upside down, Fanny and her son find themselves in a situation rife with doubts and misunderstandings. Between what is said, what is left unsaid, and what we refuse to admit, a chasm widens.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\nshow less<\/mark><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Aki is a biracial, Japanese-Canadian (nisei, second generation) dramaturg and arts educator raised in Ottawa and Tokyo within a family of pedagogues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aki\u2019s love for theatre began in her formative years at a francophone Arts High School in Ottawa. She completed a Bachelor\u2019s of Arts specialised in theatre, during that time, she participated in an international exchange studying for a year at the University of Birmingham, UK to immerse herself in English and European Theatre. In the years that follow, Aki completed her Masters of Arts in Theatre Theory and Dramaturgy, successfully defending her Thesis that examined the Intercultural Adaptations of Japanese Post-War Theatre Director, Suzuki Tadashi. Since moving to Montreal Aki has worked with emerging theatre artists in training at the National Theatre School of Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aki is fascinated by intercultural performance, as it fosters an exchange and seeks out connection between seemingly disparate entities, looking at the world through the lens of wanting to understand each other\u2019s humanity across geographic, cultural, linguistic, temporal and cultural boundaries. Intercultural performance resonates deeply with Aki as a bi-racial artist whose mixed-identity has always been a centre point of her existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aki has been engaging in dramaturgical collaboration apprenticeships for a number of years following her studies. Since joining PWM, Aki has collaborated with a number of artists in developing their projects and is continuously discovering new elements of her artistic process with every new collaboration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
