The Other Theatre is a bilingual Montreal company devoted to contemporary creation, performed in locally, nationally, and internationally.
Formed in 1991 by Artistic Director Stacey Christodoulou, The Other Theatre is devoted to contemporary creation. Working bilingually, our award-wining work has included adaptations, installations, theatre texts, and collectively written material performed in numerous venues in Montreal and abroad, including theatres, galleries, as well as a moving elevator. Drawing inspiration from art forms other than theatre – dance, cinema, science, architecture, and the visual arts – we present evocative performances, grounded by thought-provoking texts. From a creole Macbeth, to sci-fi with polyphonic singing, to the horror of H.P. Lovecraft, our original creations are thrilling and visually striking. We have also presented the work of International and Canadian writers, giving them their French-language premieres in Quebec. Exploring the large existential issues of our time, we aim to move our audience to greater emotional connection and reflection, bridging communities and languages to create a hybrid theatre that is reflective of the cultural richness of Montreal. We value and foster artistic exchange, both locally and internationally and share our artistic process in Canada, the US, Europe and Mexico, through mentorships, workshops and cultural mediation in local communities and schools.
