:trans: Launch of FTA 2025 Festival TransAmérique

The Urgency of Welcoming Other Perspectives
With 20 shows presented from👉 May 22 to June 5, Festival TransAmériques' 19th edition will provide a breath of fresh air in our cultural and artistic landscape. Its program stands apart from the prevailing cynicism of our time—just as it has done each spring for the past 40 years. In this year’s exciting line-up, around 200 choreographers, directors, performers, and designers from no less than 23 countries will present multiple visions of the world through powerful, moving, and sometimes disturbing dance and theatre shows. Their stories will transport audiences from Mexico to Uruguay by way of Argentina, to Mumbai in India, London in England, Shiraz in Iran, Kigali in Rwanda, and beyond.

The 2025 program features many new faces, with 8 directors and choreographers presenting their work in Montreal for the first time. At a time when the arts are under severe threat, FTA is reasserting the fundamental importance of our local artists by programming 9 shows from Quebec and elsewhere in Canada—including 8 co-productions, which are at the center of the Festival’s mission.

Reading Hamlet for the first time is great in many ways, for instance recognition and thus the original context of phrases ('to thine own self be true, methinks the lady doth protest too much, to be or not to be', a play called the Mousetrap!).

But this, a lesser known part, is a marvel too: Hamlet/Shakespeare instructs an actor to keep natural, in a hilarious, eloquently annoyed speech against overacting. #bookstodon #Shakespeare #theatre

'Enter Hamlet and three of the players. Hamlet:' Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue. But if you mouth it, as many of our players do, I had as lief the town crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently, for in the very torrent, tempest, and (as I may say) whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness. O, it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings, who for the most part are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb shows and noise. I would have such a fellow whipped for o'erdoing Termagant. It out-herods Herod. Pray you avoid it. 'Player:' I warrant your honor.
