In "Heavens," the fourth and final instalment of his critically
lauded Blood Promises cycle, Wajdi Mouawad crafts a fierce and
poignant play that penetrates the intersection where violence,
terror, beauty, and art converge. Isolated in a secret location, an
international team of intelligence personnel are given the task of
intercepting and decoding cryptic messages from terrorists. The
sudden and unexplained suicide of one of the case's key agents
forces the team to probe into their colleague's life in hopes of
discovering what he knew, and stopping the attack before it's too
late.
Wajdi Mouawad was born in Lebanon in 1968. Mouawad fled the
war-torn country with his family; they lived in Paris for a few
years, then settled in Montreal. In 1991, shortly after graduating
from the National Theatre School, he embarked on a career as an
actor, writer, director, and producer. In all his work, from his
own plays--a dozen so far, including "Journee de noces chez les
Cromagnons" ("Wedding Day at the Cro-Magnons'"), "Littoral"
("Tideline"), and "Incendies" ("Scorched"- which served as the
basis for the Academy Award nominated film "Incendies")--Wajdi
Mouawad is guided by the central notion that "all art bears witness
to human existence through the prism of beauty." From 2000-2004 he
was the artistic director of Montreal's Theatre de Quat'Sous; in
2005 he founded two companies specializing in the development of
new work: Abe carre ce carre in Canada (with Emmanuel Schwartz),
and Au carre de l'hypotenuse in France. He is the recipient of
numerous awards and honours for his writing and directing,
including the 2000 Governor General's Literary Award for Drama
("Littoral"), the 2002 Chevalier de l'Ordre National des Arts et
des Lettres (France) and the 2004 Prix de la Francophonie. He is
currently Artistic Director of the National Arts Centre French
Theatre.
