I Forgive You

National Arts Centre
Ottawa
March 1 – 11, 2023

In October 2013, Scott Jones was leaving a bar in New Glasgow Nova Scotia when he was attacked, stabbed in the back, and left paralyzed from the waist down. In the months following, his story garnered international attention, not only for its brutality, but also for Scott’s uncommonly early decision to forgive his attacker. 

I Forgive You marries Scott’s own words with a live children’s choir performing the music of legendary Icelandic band Sigur Rós, to tell a story of trauma, recovery, and the complicated path of forgiveness.
