Scorched
A mother’s last will and testament sends twins Simon and Janine on a journey into her past. Plunging into their mother’s history in a war-torn country, they struggle to solve the mystery of their origins.

Siblings Josh and Jennifer are coping with the loss of their father, who disappeared in a float plane accident on Christmas Eve one year ago. While Josh scours the Internet for proof that his father is still alive, Jennifer rebels against his denial and their mother Marcia's efforts to return the family to normalcy. When Marcia insists that Josh and Jennifer spend Christmas Eve with relatives, the children instead set out for Stanley Park to honour their father’s memory. Trapped by a catastrophic storm, the children are rescued by Skookum Pete, a strange vagabond who takes them to a fantastical bunker beneath the Prospect Point café, where they experience wondrous visions that help them understand the truth about their father and the healing power of love.

A mother’s last will and testament sends twins Simon and Janine on a journey into her past. Plunging into their mother’s history in a war-torn country, they struggle to solve the mystery of their origins.

The theatrical journey into the deep, dark and delirious woods of Wajdi Mouawad's Forests begins with a real mind-boggler: How did a missing skull fragment from a woman murdered in a Nazi concentration camp end up embedded in the brain of a recently deceased Québécoise? Over the course of the play, the daughter of deceased Aimée Lambert, 16-year-old Loup, searches for an answer to this question with the help of her trusty paleontologist guide, Douglas Dupontel.
