Montreal, 24 January 2017 – The board of directors of Festival TransAmériques wishes to announce a new chairman of the board.

After Berlin, Amsterdam, Melbourne, London, Brussels, Paris, Tokyo and São Paulo, Montreal will join the club of some 25 fascinating cites in the world to have been honoured with their own versions of 100 % by the German company Rimini Protokoll.
Montreal, June 8, 2016 – The atmosphere tonight at the Quartier général of the FTA will no doubt be one of excitement as the 10th edition of the Festival TransAmériques comes to a close. Over the past two weeks, from May 26 to June 8, 2016, 25 theatre and dance shows and events electrified Montreal stages during the FTA. This second festival under artistic director Martin Faucher attracted some 53 500 festivalgoers with an attendance rate of an amazing 97%, a new record.
