The Show
At the height of the Syrian Civil War, Canada resettled more than 44,000 Syrian refugees. But what if the situation was reversed? What if Waterloo Region became a warzone, and we were all forced to flee our homes and seek refuge?
In this provocative, participatory experience, audiences are invited to feel what it means to be a refugee, what it means to leave your country, to leave everything behind and start anew – while playing the role of Canadian refugees seeking asylum in Syria.
Presented in association with Mada Theatre.
