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 most recent new Canadian work to reach presentation in a new language directly as a result of this volunteer outreach, BTC is thrilled to share:

An urban fantasy that explores love, betrayal, friendship and queer identity.
16-year-old Sam’s life is a mess; her parents are fighting, her brother’s a jerk, and she’s way too punk for high school. She doesn’t talk to anyone (as a rule) but when Kate moves into town with her old sister Frankie, Sam is immediately smitten. Kate’s cool and smart and doesn’t take shit from anyone. Could two outsiders be allies?
As her parent’s marriage crumbles, Sam buries herself in their friendship. But when Kate’s sister falls victim to an act of violence, Sam becomes embroiled in something far out of her control. Kate is determined to bring the perpetrator to justice, but her actions have strange consequences and the girls are left to ask, “What is the cost of retribution? Are any of us truly worthy of forgiveness?”
Please note the whole piece will be performed in Spanish. There will be a 20 minute post show discussion with the artists and translator.
