OFFTA 2024

OFFTA 2024

OFFTA Live art festival

May 24 – June 2, 2024

18th edition

The OFFTA is a festival dedicated to emerging, experimental creation in live arts. Created on the periphery of the Festival TransAmériques (FTA), the OFFTA showcases creators whose unique and engaged approaches lay the grounds for new artistic currents. The OFFTA aims to decategorize contemporary artistic practices and their respective audiences. It presents and produces events that both challenge established norms and question modes of representation, fostering cooperation and coming-together.

Ten days of festivities where you can discover 13 artistic projects and a wide range of inspiring and festive activities! Presenting emerging creations in live art, this edition unfolds throughout Montreal, investing in both public spaces and the city's stages! A place of all wonders, this year’s OFFTA unleashes strong voices that reshape our certainties by deviating, circumventing, and overturning our relationship with ambiguities, detours, and vertigos. Always at the forefront of audacity, the OFFTA will allow the public to discover works in their process; the Laboratories, as well as fully-developed projects; the Shows.

OFFTA, live art festival

Annual artistic event created on the edge of the Festival TransAmériques (FTA), OFFTA is a festival dedicated to emerging avant-garde creation in live arts. Since 2007, it scans the local artistic landscape in order to highlight creators whose projects trace new avenues in theatre, dance, circus and performance. The OFFTA grounds its identity on an artistic direction which favors solid and singular approaches, emerging practices and experimentation.

Shows and Labs

OFFTA distinguishes between two types of projects in its programming, allowing curious festival-goers to discover completed projects and works in their creative process. You therefore have access to fully-developed projects – the Shows – and projects that are works in progress – the Labs presented by Caisse Desjardins de la Culture.
