Performing Arts - Montreal, Quebec, Canada
The Other Theatre (www.othertheatre.com) is dedicated to contemporary performance that explores the tension between the individual and the collective experience. We examine how everyday acts of kindness and cruelty are reflected in the larger political and social context of our society. Our collective creations, plays (R.W. Fassbinder, Peter Handke, Heiner Müller, Sarah Kane, Kurt Vonnegut, Wallace Shawn, Greg MacArthur) and installations have taken place in theatres, found spaces, galleries and a moving elevator. We choose our venues for their architectural contribution to our pieces. The Other Theatre performs in English, French and bilingually. We have tackled subjects from fractals to fascism, physics to pop culture, television to terrorism and have been invited into the seasons of many Montreal venues, both English and French, (Centaur Theatre, Espace Libre, Théâtre Prospero, The Segal Centre for Performing Arts, Galerie Oboro, Montreal arts intercultural) as well as being a participant in the Festival de Théâtre des Amériques at Théâtre La Chapelle. We have recently produced a French/Creole version of Macbeth set in Haiti.The bond between the spectator and the performer is at the heart of our work and is in tandem with our conceptual preoccupations. As technology moves forward at the speed of light, we continue to affirm the necessity of the human connection that theatre provides.
