This article analyses and compares the treatment of history in two dramatic re‐enactments: the E nglish C anadian 1837: The Farmers' Revolt , a collective creation of T heatre P asse M uraille with R ick S alutin as dramaturge, and the R omanian A Cold , by M arin S orescu. Both plays re‐enact past events as a form of anti‐colonial and respectively anti‐communist resistance and as a way to enable imagined exile, but their dramaturgical strategies and substance are necessarily different as each deals with a specific order of history.
