IN UN (ONE), MANI SOLEYMANLOU TRIES TO PINPOINT WHAT EXACTLY DEFINES HIM AS AN IRANIAN LIVING IN CANADA. In DEUX (Two), he is joined on stage by Manu (Emmanuel Schwartz), his kindred spirit. Together they search for what he might have missed in his initial quest for identity. A quest that culminates with TROIS (Three).

Produced by Orange Noyée, co-presented by Canadian Stage and Théâtre français de Toronto (TfT), UN, DEUX, TROIS. is simply breathtaking in scale and scope. The production involves no less than 40 performers from across Canada. All of them acting as co-creators. This epic trilogy reflects the cultural and political heritage of North America, the diversity of its communities, and the richness of its territories and many climates. These co-creators will all share their lived experiences, ideas, aspirations, and frustrations, to question what forms, divides, and unites us.

This production is a quest for collective intimacy, a kaleidoscope of committed and engaging voices.
