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.

First the foundation…then the eyes…and finally the mouth. The activity of a daily make-up routine turns into a examination a woman’s life, questioning the femal ideal, the relationship between women and beauty, seduction, and ageing.
Audience Response
“It was very poignant to understand the world of today. The dichotomy there is between what we are and what we think we show the world or better. What we Are and what we would like to be.”
“Who is to judge what I show of myself to the world? This piece is absolutely effective for today.“
“This play is like an onion . It has multiple layeres . If you cut into it , it makes you cry.”
