Echoes in the Streets

Three Productions. Three Weekends. Nine Nights.

Teesri Duniya is proud to present The Backyard Theatre Festival, a three-weekend event featuring some of the city’s most dynamic political artists. Interweaving stories of resistance across time, land, and languages, these community-driven pieces are exemplary of the intercultural, interdisciplinary work for which Teesri has come to be known.

An activists’ answer to the summer festival season, this event also represents the formal launch of Teesri’s Backyard Theatre venue, located in the lush gardens of Cité-des-Hospitalières. Join us at sunset this September to experience the innovative worlds within these works.

Echoes in the Streets:

This multidisciplinary theatre project explores the history of student protest in Montréal over the past fifty years, tracing how young people have shaped the city through resistance, creativity, and collective action. Blending documentary performance, archival sound, and movement, the piece weaves together personal testimonies and political histories to tell a story of youth who refused to stay silent. The work reveals Montréal as a living archive of dissent, where every chant, strike, and march echoes the ongoing struggle for change.
