When you've grown up an ocean away from your birthplace, what do you ultimately call home?
Toronto, Ontario - Opening the season on September 16, 2016 Hart House Theatre and Canadian Rep are pleased to present Tideline: an award-winning play written by one of our country's distinct voices, Wajdi Mouawad, and directed by Canadian theatre icon, Ken Gass.
Winner of the Governor General's Award and France's Prix Molière, Wajdi Mouawad's Tideline is a wildly theatrical play about the displacement of self. After the sudden, unexpected death of a father he hardly knew, Wilfrid is forced to confront a host of family secrets, including the foundation of his own existence. A dream-like journey through a war-torn landscape inhabited by some equally lost and peculiar survivors, Tideline is a darkly humorous fable for our times.
Tideline (Littoral) is the first of Wajdi Mouawad's remarkable tetralogy of plays that also includes the widely celebrated Scorched (Incendies), as well as Forests (Forêts) and Heavens (Ciels).

About ENSEMBLE Canadian Youth Theatre
ENSEMBLE Canadian Youth Theatre/Théåtre Jeunesse will focus on advanced training through producing works from the Canadian theatrical canon with emerging theatre artists who have recently graduated from professional training programs, and through workshops under the mentorship of established professional artists associated with Canadian Rep Theatre.
Artistic Director Ken Gass states, "In many ways, ENSEMBLE Canadian Youth Theatre reflects the larger ambitions of Canadian Rep itself, an opportunity to explore diverse approaches to the extraordinary body of contemporary Canadian dramatic works with a committed ensemble of talented performers. We hope this summer's pilot project will not only continue but expand in the years to come."
