Artist Programs

We have many artistic programs which seek to uplift and highlight Montreal’s diverse population. We provide opportunities for all individuals to express themselves and allow their voices to be heard. From productions of new works and paratheatrical events, to lectures and workshops, we have something for everyone!

  • Imagine stepping into an intimate vibrant Istanbul coffee house. The air hangs heavy with the rich aroma of Turkish coffee, the soulful strains of music, […]

  • Rimah Jabr, a Muslim Palestinian, and Natasha Greenblatt, a Jewish Canadian, come together as co-writers in Two Birds One Stone, a heartfelt and charged conversation. It delves into the complexities of privilege, and reflects on the search for home and freedom.

  • Presented in Teesri Duniya’s outdoor performance space, The Shortest and Sweetest of Songs is an experiential collage of poetry, puppetry, music, and live performance—an embodied exploration of hope and home in Palestine. Featuring a vibrant ensemble of puppeteers, actors, musicians, and performance artists, this multidisciplinary piece invites audiences into a shared space of reflection and resistance. Rooted in Palestinian poetry and intergenerational dreams of return, the performance unfolds as a living tapestry of sound, image, and movement—an act of remembrance, resilience, and radical imagination.
