A terrorist attack in Jerusalem puts Eitan, a young Israeli-German genetic researcher, in a coma, while his girlfriend Wahida, an Moroccan graduate student, is left to uncover his family secret that brought them to Israel in the first place. Since Eitan's parents erupted at a Passover meal when they realized Wahida was not Jewish, he has harbored a suspicion about his heritage that, if true, could change everything.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Over the past twenty years Wajdi Mouawad has established himself, both in Canada and in Europe, as a uniquely original player on the contemporary theatre scene, acclaimed for his direct and uncompromising narratives and his spare and compelling theatre aesthetic. In all his work, from his own plays (over fifteen to date, including <em>Tideline</em>, <em>Scorched</em>, <em>Forests</em> and <em>Heavens</em> and adaptations (including Ce´line's <em>Journey to the End of the Night</em> and Cervantes' <em>Don Quixote</em>), the productions he has directed (including <em>Macbeth</em>, <em>The Trojan Women</em> and <em>Three Sisters</em>), to novels (<em>Visage Retrouve´</em>, <em>Anima</em>) Wajdi Mouawad expresses the conviction that "art bears witness to human existence through the prism of beauty."
