About

Montreal-based theatre company Orange Noyée and the NAC French Theatre join forces to present Prologue(s), an artistic project conceived by Mani Soleymanlou. Prologue(s) is a series of eight theatrical sketches performed outdoors in front of a small volunteer audience. It features nine of French Theatre’s most beloved artists performing original works. Their performances were delivered and filmed in front of a small audience (at a safe distance) at various venues in Ottawa and Gatineau during the fall of 2020. https://nac-cna.ca/en/video/series/prologues

Organizer

National Arts Centre

The National Arts Centre raised its curtains for the first time in 1969. A bilingual, multi-disciplinary home for Canada’s most creative artists, the NAC strives to be artistically adventurous in each of its programming streams — the NAC Orchestra, Dance, English Theatre, French Theatre, Indigenous Theatre and NAC Presents. The Centre’s national role is reflected in its motto: “Canada is our Stage.” The NAC collaborates with artists and arts organizations across the country, acts as a catalyst for performance; invests in ambitious new works by artists and arts organizations nation-wide; and nurtures the next generation of audiences and artists from across Canada. Situated on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe nation, the NAC is accessible and welcoming to all, and offers a variety of free programming and events.
