Lia & Dor

by Cristina Tudor
a KIA Productions and Ensemble Theatre Company production in association with Firehall Arts Centre

Immerse yourself in the mysterious world of Romanian folklore sprung from the mind of award-winning Romanian performer and playwright Cristina Tudor in this love letter to her Grandparents and her culture.

Lia & Dor interweaves a whimsical Romanian fairy tale with a surprising and salacious family history. Come on the journey as she explores the memories of family, the meaning of homeland, and the fables we tell each other about ourselves and the past.

Event Details

“a whimsical, mesmerising journey”
— Edmonton Journal

There is a word in Romanian which has no English equivalent. Dor. It means something like longing. It encompasses melancholy, joy and hope. A feeling that drives you to take a new journey, fall in love, come back home. You know this feeling, we all do.

In a Romania that both is and isn’t today, a girl is compelled by Dor to take a journey. What she enters is a fairy tale that challenges her to face her family’s past and draw strength from her cultural traditions to trace a path into her future.

We’re Grateful to Be Here.

The Firehall Arts Centre is located on the unceded and traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations where they lived and gathered together for thousands of years. Acknowledging their connections to these lands is a significant part of what the Firehall considers when choosing the productions and presentations we undertake and how that work shapes and impacts those around us. We ask our community to reflect on what being present here means to you and those around you.
