Event Notes

× The Hooves Belonged to the Deer
In association with Buddies in Bad Times Theatre

Written by Makram Ayache
Directed by Peter Hinton-Davis

Due to unforeseen circumstances we regret that our planned filming of Makram Ayache's The Hooves Belonged to the Deer was cancelled. Unfortunately, we were unable to re-schedule the shoot and consequently there will be no Chez Vous version of this play.

When Izzy’s family immigrates to a small rural town, the young queer Muslim boy becomes the salvation pet project to the local Pastor Isaac. In his attempt to reconcile his sexuality and faith, Izzy invents an imagined Garden of Eden, where Adam and Hawa’s (Eve in Arabic) relationship is turned upside down by the arrival of Steve, a beautiful, blue-eyed, white-skinned northerner.

An emotionally-charged and ritualistic journey of two universes colliding, The Hooves Belonged to the Deer offers an epic story of life, discovery and belonging where small town Canada meets the Garden of Eden.
