The work offers a powerful reflection on war, identity, and the bureaucratic hurdles refugees face in their search for safety.

About this Event

The Opposite / بالعكس invites audiences to imagine a reversal of reality: what if Vancouver became a warzone, and we were forced to flee to Syria for safety?

Inspired by the resettlement of over 44,000 Syrian refugees in Canada during the Syrian Civil War, this participatory piece places audience members in the role of Canadian refugees, navigating the challenges of displacement, alienation, and resettlement.
