Scorched

In a world that most of us perceive as colder and colder and more and more individualist, the past and our predecessors' stories often remain in the background. But we can't have a proper rapport neither with the present nor with the future without looking into the past, as there is the place we can find "truths that can only be revealed when hey have been discovered", as one of the characters in the play states.

Staged in a national premiere at the Hungarian State Theatre "Csiky Gergely" from Timisoara, the play Scorched by Wajdi Mouawad (Canadian of French expression and of Lebanese origins), is a puzzle-like story about the loss of a mysterious past full of darkness and which is difficult to recover. The subject depicts a sinuous initiation itinerary of the twins Jeanne and Simon, in their attempt to decrypt their mother's past, the history of a woman who, before her death remained silent for five years.
 

The play was adapted for the film nominated for the OSCAR in the category "Best Foreign Language Film" of the year 2011.
