In Search of Identity. The Children of War Immigrants in “Littoral” and “Incendies” by Wajdi Mouawad

Summary/Abstract: A key figure in contemporary Quebec drama, Wajdi Mouawad, became known to the general public with the four parts of his tetralogy entitled Le sang des promesses. This Frenchspeaking author of Lebanese origin places a lot of emphasis on the themes of identity and civil war in Lebanon, addressed through the prism of the children of war immigrants who, by returning to their native country, pursue their quest for roots. This article proposes to study the successive stages of identity research of the protagonists of the two first pieces of the cycle: Wilfrid in Littoral (1999) as well as Jeanne and Simon in Incendies (2003).
