FICTIONAL SPACE IS A KNIFE THRUST INTO THE THROAT OF REALITY
After Incendies, Wajdi Mouawad began work on a new play that, true to form, was a full-fledged commitment. On the edge of the Forêts, he and his team are asking questions. How far does contempt for artists and the creative arts extend? How do we reconcile creativity and the means of artistic expression that prevail in our mercantile and industrial society? The FTA is of course a forum for presentation and an international platform, but it is also a place for reflection on the arts and the creative process. As with L'Asile de la pureté in 2003, once again festivalgoers are invited to enter into the very smithy where a play takes shape. Thus, on the edge of the Forêts stands a workshop, a construction and reconstruction site, a place of exploration and memory - the memory of what was and of what has been destroyed, smashed and demolished. This is a job site that proclaims the power of theatre and culture to elucidate and clarify. Over a three-day period, the playwright and director will engage in a public discussion along with the actors and designers involved in this work-in-progress. Hailing from both France and Quebec, the artists will speak their minds and indeed, convey their thoughts and dreams about this strange notion of creating art.
