Creating a Festival, Engaging with the World
Since our foundation in 1985, FTA has brought together artists from around the world to showcase art and life. The many desires, the dreams, the new worlds they create can never be contained within the walls of our theatres. GIVE IT ALL to enrich yourself with these visions. GIVE IT ALL for this splendid springtime event.
GIVE IT ALL
to invite the whole world
In 2022, we welcomed over 200 artists from 18 countries, 190 presenters and programmers from 33 countries, and three international cohorts of young professionals to Montreal.
GIVE IT ALL
for local artists
Each year, our team supports a dozen new works created at the Festival by Quebec artists, making investments in co-production totalling almost $100,000.
Since 2020, almost 90 projects have benefited from FTA Respirations, a program dedicated to researching, exploring, and developing artistic practices.
GIVE IT ALL
to make art more accessible
Everyone should have access to dance and theatre. Over the past 30-plus years, thousands of young people have enjoyed a thrilling festival experience thanks to FTA’s student outreach programs.
Since last year, we have been working to expand access for people with physical or cognitive disabilities by offering adapted performances and shows with audio description.
Why do they support FTA?
“This first donation to FTA comes straight from the heart! As a cultural worker myself, I see the Festival as a beacon that unifies our community.”
Gabriel Thériault, audience member for 8 years and donor since 2022
“If you have the means, you should donate. FTA is daring—and anything that’s daring needs help. Each edition involves taking risks, and that’s what I support.”
Pascale Lehoux, audience member for 11 years and donor since 2014
“The African companies invited by the Festival in recent years are particularly interesting. You don’t see shows like that anywhere else. I don’t give a lot, but I do donate because I believe in FTA’s mission.”
Isabelle Bécotte, audience member for over 20 years and donor since 2016
