We are deeply rooted in Montreal’s performing arts milieu. We have a rich history of works which challenge the status quo, bringing cultural diversity to centre stage. Through our productions and paratheatrical activities, we seek to challenge people’s perspectives by presenting works that tackle global issues with resonant local impacts.
Since our inception in 1981 we have presented dozens of productions and hosted hundreds of events on everything from the deadly industrial disaster in Bhopal, India to the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Occupied Palestine.
Check out our past events and productions below!
