“What makes me a Christian to you, makes you a Jew to me”

The Waterloo Centre for German Studies presents Birgit Schreyer Duarte, a dramaturg in Toronto while also transitioning into directing over the past ten years. Her current production, a contemporary interpretation of Lessing’s Nathan the Wise, is part of the 2019 Stratford Festival season. Dr. Schreyer Duarte will discuss how she and her team approached the “staging of the other” in this 18^th-century play from Germany, performed in today’s Canada, that reflects on the common humanity that unites us all. 

This event is FREE and open to ALL.

Presented in cooperation with the Department of Communication Arts.
