Théâtre Junction
Theatre Junction is a bilingual multidisciplinary live art ensemble based in Montreal.
Led by its co-artistic directors Mark Lawes and Raphaële Thiriet, the company brings together artists from varied cultural backgrounds and disciplines. Together they explore themes that are at the intersection of their differences, constructing live performances that are composite forms of our time. The interconnectivity between manufactured and natural environments, real and virtual worlds, are at the core of the artistic research of the company. The research and writing of Mark Lawes and Raphaële Thiriet is derived from a system of improvisation and collective collaboration that searches inbetween disciplines for new forms of representation. This mode of creation is at the 'junction' of contemporary dance, theatre, music, and visual art.
The name Junction reflects the idea of crossroads, of space located at an intersection, of a meeting place, for the arts as well as for identities. The name conveys the space between as a space for possibilities and for creation.
Theatre Junction makes its home in Tiohtiá:ke/Moonyang/Montréal, a traditional and unceded territory, which has long served as the homeland and site of meeting and exchange of Indigenous peoples, in particular the Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk) and Omàmiwininì (Algonquin) nations.
