THE AGENCY

Founded in 2015, the agency has the mandate to accompany the independent artists and companies of its roster towards greater international and national exposure and programming of their theatrical and choreographic works.

The agency's guiding principles are built on a profound admiration for the artists’ work, on a match of important values of equity, collaboration, transparency and on respect towards its peers. The selected works of its roster stand out by the audacity and boldness of their proposition, their artistic quality, the values conveyed as well as by the representativeness of various cultural forms. 

In addition to supporting the artists of its roster, the agency offers a customized and sporadic support to cultural organisms, such as mentoring and coaching.
