Company

L’Arrière Scène (Beloeil) Centre dramatique pour l’enfance et la jeunesse en Montérégie produces and presents new works in Québec, Canada and abroad. It also showcases and hosts shows and cultural mediation activities for the very young, for school-age children, and for teens.

Barbaque Compagnie (France) was founded in 2016 by Caroline Guyot. Its works combine the whimsy of object theatre with the requirements of theatrical texts, never losing sight of the need to be accessible to as wide an audience as possible. The company has six creations in its repertoire, including La Princesse qui n’aimait pas… (2020), Mercredi c’est sport (2024) and L’Enfant Mascara (2024). Barbaque Compagnie is subsidized by the Ministère de la Culture DRAC Hauts-de-France, with support from the Institut Français in Paris, the Région Hauts-de-France, and the City of Lille.
