IT’S A RENDEZVOUS!

Because the creative process and the artistic life do not consist of performances only, the Festival TransAmériques is once again proposing a series of opportunities for discussion and for sharing with the artists, in both the presentation venues and at the Quartier Général (QG), with dialogues, meetings and debates, plus round table discussions and concerts, not to mention meeting the performers, directors and designers on the dance floor! All these encounters are unique, and they are all free of charge.

GET TOGETHER AT THE QUARTIER GÉNÉRAL

A place for debate and reflection by day, the Festival QG is transformed at night into the perfect place for prolonging the pleasure of the performance with food, talk, drink and dance!
