Zied Touati: Visas People and African Refugees

zied touati: Actors scheduled to perform at IMPACT 17 in Kitchener denied visas People embarking on these boats, they're just told one day before that they need to be prepared, according to CBC. So, it worked somehow in my imagination, said Zied Touati of Montreal, who is filling in for one of the missing actors. The play tells the story of Arab and African refugees escaping North Africa on a raft, travelling across the Mediterranean toward Italy. He received his script just four days before joining the cast for a performance in Halifax earlier this month. I think it went well. I saw videos of the show and I tried to do my best, he said.
