Our projects

This project aims to transform Afro-descendant artists and art professionals into cultural entrepreneurs. It develops their artistic and professional potential through training, mentoring and networking. It offers targeted reinforcement of artistic skills in all fields, and increased expertise in career management, marketing and fund-raising. The program also fosters the emergence of collective projects and collaborations between different artistic disciplines, and helps increase the visibility of Afro-descendant artists and art professionals on local and international circuits.

The company accepts one cohort of beneficiaries per year, and training is free of charge.

Art-Seulement is a multi-week program that enables young girls to explore their identity and build their self-confidence through a series of theater workshops. It’s a safe space where girls can use art to express their emotions and tackle difficult issues such as harassment, racism and bullying.

Talking and sharing these experiences with people who are willing to listen, in a safe environment, is a way for the young participants to overcome their fears and anxieties. It’s also a way of understanding that they’re not alone in the fight against harassment, and of breaking social isolation.

These activities are organized in partnership with schools or community spaces, and promote intercultural dialogue around diversity and the inclusion of young girls from minority groups who are victims of harassment.

The company accepts two groups per year, and participants can remain anonymous.

Art Pour Tous (APT) is an initiative of the Compagnie Théâtre Créole that promotes cultural diversity and multiculturalism by facilitating access to art and culture for low-income social categories. It provides elementary school and community organizations with socio-cultural activities, artistic presentations and creations, introductory sessions and performances, and targets various groups such as seniors, young people, children, families, teenagers and others.

Our project aims to use art to bring together and involve disadvantaged communities in addressing social issues such as the isolation of the elderly, juvenile delinquency, school drop-out, inclusion and others. We offer a variety of options, including workshops in painting, music, slam, initiation to unconventional instruments, intercultural dance, theater and poetry. APT activities help strengthen participants’ sense of belonging to their community.

Our vision is of a world where everyone is in touch with their own culture, their origins and their identity. In particular, the company aims to promote the heritage of Creole-speaking cultures, not only among the younger generation, but also among the older generation. We aim to facilitate multiculturalism through ambitious artistic projects taking place in a space suitable for all senior cultural players who wish to project the beautiful and arouse the desire for productions in Creole languages.

Following the great success of Art Pour Tous with children, the Compagnie Théâtre Créole decided to rethink the concept and build it specifically for an older audience.

The “Integrating through Theatre” project aims to promote greater Canadian diversity by encouraging dialogue around multiculturalism and anti-racism. It supports a number of activities, such as debates around the values of inclusion, interactive theater in which audiences help to build the storyline by proposing dialogues and lines, and living exhibits emblematic of black resilience in public places. It also offers a variety of performances to celebrate Canada’s history, and showcases black artists.

Integrating through theater is a mobile activity, visiting every corner of Montreal.

The theater camp offers a rich and stimulating artistic experience for young participants, introducing them to the world of theater. Children discover various aspects of the dramatic arts, such as improvisation, directing, body expression and set design. Under the supervision of passionate professionals, they develop self-confidence, discipline and a sense of responsibility, communication skills and creativity, all while having fun. The artistic day camp culminates in a performance where the children can demonstrate their talent and acquired skills in front of an enthusiastic audience made up of their families.

The theater camp takes place during summer vacation and spring break. Activities are at a reduced cost. Scholarships are also available.

” The Colours of Canada “is a day of discovery of Aboriginal communities from here and elsewhere, taking place during National Aboriginal Peoples’ Day, June 21. The first edition took place in 2025 at Wilfrid Bastien Park. The day was filled with activities of all kinds: a symbolic object creation workshop, a debate on the struggles of Aboriginal communities from one generation to the next, a draw for prizes in a question-and-answer game on the world’s Aboriginal communities, an artistic performance, and much more! Guest Anishinaabe Anna Mappachee shared her personal experiences with the audience, as well as cultural elements such as handicrafts and bannock.

La fête de la mixité is a family celebration of Montreal’s cultural diversity, taking the form of a recreational day combining inflatable games, traditional games, face painting, discussion areas, tastings and musical entertainment. It’s an opportunity for dialogue and encounters between immigrants and Saint-Léonard’s host society.

On June 27, 2024, the CTC organized the first edition of the Fête de la mixité at Parc Wilfrid Bastien. Starting at 2 p.m., residents of the Saint-Léonard borough enjoyed inflatable games, traditional games and activities, culinary tastings, entertainment and face painting for children. The day ended with a concert by Rebecca Jean. The day enabled 150 families of all origins to bond and celebrate Canadian diversity.

Music is a universal language that enables us to discuss common issues. The Fête de la Musique brought the community together to celebrate artistic musical expression. The event was a highlight of the year 2024, showcasing diversity and creativity.

On June 21, 2024, BIC, a committed Haitian singer, shared his passion and talent with an audience of 200, and allowed him to travel the airwaves of rap, slam and poetry.

The company is constantly looking for opportunities to bring together Quebec’s great mosaic of cultures into a coherent whole, and to forge closer links between them. So it was with great pride that we wove this show into a symphony of voices, rhythms and colors that resonated throughout Montreal and beyond.

The Compagnie Théâtre Créole has joined forces with the Bibliothèques de Montréal network to celebrate the contribution of members of racialized communities to Canada’s artistic heritage in the painting exhibition Un regard complice en temps de pandémie. A hybrid exhibition that respects health measures and runs from February 7 to March 27, 2021, as part of Black History Month.

“This project is intended to be an open space where emerging artists from Quebec’s diversity can share their talent,” says Nerlande Gaétan, exhibition curator and project manager for the organization.

Artists: Tamara Pierre-Louis, Bétina (Tina) Antoine, Sheena, Florwing Ogé, Tima.

In collaboration with the Maison de la culture de Rivière-des-Prairies, the Compagnie Théâtre Créole presented ” Diversity on Display “as part of the 3rd edition of Festithéâtrecréole.
