Jerusalem
Ismaël Saidi
Author, actor, director and screenwriter Ismaël Saidi no longer needs any introduction.
His new, decidedly productive play tells the story of Shahid, who is forced to abandon his home in the neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah because the court sentenced him to turn the keys over to the sole recognised owner: Delphine Lachance, who has just arrived from Montreal. Their meeting is a mixture of resentment, anger and rejection for one another. However, on this particular day, a solar eclipse occurs, and a stellar incident will bring the souls of two of their ancestors back to life. The possessed Shahid and Delphine then travel through time and space to discover the odyssey that led to them being washed aground on the banks of a city where prayers and dreams of all kinds come together, a land that has been promised for so long: Jerusalem.
