Canadian New Works Abroad

Our Success is Measured in the Success of Others

Over the last five years, Bouche Theatre Collective and Creative Producer Jack Paterson have worked hard to introduce new Canadian works to artists and organisations across Canada and abroad.

We do this by sharing texts for potential translation, introducing and connecting artists and organisations, providing insights on translation, and supporting English language applications and documentation.

The 8th new Canadian work to reach presentation in a new language directly as a result of this volunteer outreach, BTC is thrilled to share Nathalie Boisvert’s Facelift, translated to Italian by Carolina Migli and Piacenza Kultur Dom will be presented at Satiri Di Storie Festival (IT).
