On November 28 and 29 in Ottawa, for four shows only, this wonderful troupe of community members will be performing in the new play by Laurel Smith, Daughters of Khadija, which follows a group of Ottawa women – mothers, daughters, friends – as they confront family secrets and navigate their daily lives, each clinging to their dreams while carrying the unwelcome weight of how others often unfairly view them.

Set against a contemporary Canadian landscape marked by polarization and prejudice, this story is ultimately about finding the courage of finding one’s voice, and living inside one’s hope.

Over the coming week we'll be spotlighting each talented cast member, each of whom bring a unique sensibility and dedication to their roles.

Seating is limited, so order your pay-what-you-wish tickets today at bptheatre.ca or 613-695-9330

(Daughters of Khadija is a Burning Passions Theatre theatre-in-the-community training program, funded in part by the Government of Canada) ...

Earlier this week in Ottawa, Monia Mazigh launched a revised, expanded edition of her book Hope and Despair: My Struggle to Free My Husband from a Black Site

Mazigh recounts the extraordinary personal and political struggle that followed her husband's disappearance. Confronting government silence, political indifference, and the devastating consequences of the post-9/11 War on Terror, she became a determined advocate for justice and human rights.

Through an intimate and deeply personal narrative, Mazigh reveals the emotional toll of uncertainty, the challenges of raising a family during a national controversy, and the courage required to challenge powerful institutions.

This revised second edition features a substantial new introduction reflecting on the continuing legacy of extraordinary rendition, state power, and the erosion of civil liberties nearly twenty-five years after the beginning of the War on Terror.

A powerful memoir of resilience, love, political courage, and the pursuit of justice, Hope and Despair is both a personal testimony and a timely examination of human rights in an increasingly uncertain world.

Burning Passions Theatre is privileged to work with Monia as one of the consultants on our Muslim Women Sharing Stories Theatre project, which stages a new play by Laurel Smith November 28 and 29 in Ottawa, Daughters of Khadija. Tickets are available at bptheatre.ca and 613-695-9330. ...
