Ashkan Khatibi's 'Lui' (He) is more than just a play; it is a powerful, semi-autobiographical open letter to the free world. Drawing from his own experiences navigating the interrogation rooms of Tehran and his eventual journey to the stages of Canada, Khatibi uses this performance to shed light on the shadows of censorship.

The Performance 'Lui' is a raw and urgent piece of theatre that gives a voice to those who have been silenced. It bridges the gap between tragedy and hope, offering the audience a glimpse into the resilience of the human spirit in the face of oppression. This is a must-see for anyone interested in contemporary theatre that tackles real-world issues with artistic depth.

Venue Details The performance takes place at the Greenwin Theatre within the Meridian Arts Centre. Located at 5040 Yonge Street, the venue is easily accessible via public transit. Given the powerful nature of the work and Khatibi's reputation, this is a significant addition to the city's theatrical calendar.
