The 2015-2016 World Stage series at The Kennedy Center began last weekend
with a production of “Seuls,” written, directed and performed by Wajdi
Mouawad, born in Lebanon, raised in Canada and now residing in Paris. This
one-man show was in French with English sub-titles. I have to say I found the
show complex—easy to follow for the first half, but a bit complicated at the
end. But, honestly, it was so well performed that I couldn’t stop thinking
about it long afterwards. Mouawad plays Michael who is writing a thesis on
Robert LePage and at the same time, having issues with his father. “Seuls”
is just the first of six productions in The
Kennedy Center’s World Stage series which brings leading companies of
artists from the U.S. and abroad in theatre, music dance and more. For information and tickets
