Né au Liban le 16 octobre 1968, Wajdi Mouawad est contraint d’abandonner sa terre natale à l’âge de huit ans, pour cause de guerre civile. Débute une période d’exil qui le conduit d’abord avec sa famille à Paris. Une patrie d’adoption qu’il doit à son tour quitter en 1983, l’État lui refusant les papiers nécessaires à son maintien sur le territoire. De l’Hexagone, il rejoint alors le Québec.

C’est là qu’il fait ses études et obtient en 1991 le diplôme en interprétation de l’École nationale de théâtre du Canada à Montréal. Il codirige aussitôt avec la comédienne Isabelle Leblanc sa première compagnie, Théâtre Ô Parleur.

“L'enfance est un couteau planté dans la gorge.”
Wajdi Mouawad, Incendies

“El ser humano es un túnel estrecho, hay que internarse en él si quieres conocerlo. Hay que avanzar en la oscuridad, aspirar el olor de todos los animales muertos, escuchar los gritos, los dientes que rechinan y los llantos. Hay que andar, hundir las patas en un charco de sangre y trepar por un hilo de oro abandonado por el propio ser humano, cuando no era más que infancia y ningún tejado cubría su techo. Animal entre animales, aún no sufría. El humano es un túnel y todo humano llora su cielo desaparecido. Esto lo sabe el perro y por ello es infinito su afecto por el humano.”
Wajdi Mouawad, Anima

“El mundo es vasto, pero los humanos se obstinan en ir a donde su alma se desgarra.”
Wajdi Mouawad, Anima
