SAINTS OF DAMOUR BY JAMES ELAZZI

Saints of Damour is a powerful play by James Elazzi set in 1970s Lebanon. Pierre, a young man from the village of Damour, is forced to flee when civil war breaks out, leaving behind his community and love. He marries out of necessity and moves to Australia, hoping to start anew.

Despite his efforts to build a new life in Queensland and Darlinghurst, Pierre is haunted by memories of his past. As he grapples with his identity and displacement, he learns that some parts of himself cannot be erased.

Saints of Damour is a poignant exploration of identity, loss, and the search for belonging, honoring voices lost to history and emphasizing the importance of living authentically. Presented with the support of Qtopia Sydney.
