The dates for the 7th edition of the OFFTA are now revealed! The festival will take place from May 24 to June 2, 2013.

For the next few months, the OFFTA will bring together a program which will put forward creators whose approach guide today’s local living arts.

Again this year, the OFFTA aspires to decompartmentalize contemporary artistic practices along with their respective audiences. As a promoter, the OFFTA facilitates access to art and offers the chance to discover creators who explore the liminal space between dance, theatre, performance and visual arts.

Not to be missed!

Two erroneous pieces of information in the printed version of our program!

First, a date mistake:

The international MIXOFF, which will bring together Massimo Guerrera and Gerald Kurdian, will actually take place on:

Sunday May 27th at 10 am

Monday May 28th at 10pm

Tuesday May 29th at 5pm

A hybrid experience created especially for you that will transcend your expectations.

Second, a venue mistake:

Dany Boudreault's new creation (e) will take place at Théâtre d'Aujourd'hui (not Usince C).

Let us meet for a 5 to 7 on the grass, a friendly and festive rendez-vous during which the complete programming of the festival will finally be revealed.

From spring arises a movement. We populate the streets, occupy the space and paint it red. We ste outside, step forward, step towards the others. We decompartmentalize to better share, here and now, a same present. That is what the OFFTA mainly is: a great gathering, an abundance of creativity from which resonate the voices of a generation. In this spring of uprising, we can hardly keep our enthusiasm about the 2012 edition of the festival to ourselves... so let us reveal a few appetizers.

This year's program was revealed on Sunday under a bright sun, right in the centre of the La Fontaine Park. A sign in one hand and a megaphone in the other, the artists introduced their show each in their turn to an enthusiastic and cheerful crowd. See it for yourself thanks to our photograph Gabrielle Desmarchais's pictures, just a click away…
