Projet Polytechnique

Company

Founded in 2000 by Annabel Soutar and Alex Ivanovici, Porte Parole creates and produces documentary plays on challenging topics such as health, financial bubbles, hydroelectricity, globalization and immigration. Each of Porte Parole’s projects addresses current issues in a compelling, sometimes provocative way, and invites open civic dialogue.

Porte Parole’s work has been widely acclaimed for its creativity and its unique way of bringing complex documentary material to life.

Porte Parole has 16 plays to its credit: Rose et la machine, L’Assemblée – São Paulo, L’Assemblée – Munich, Tout inclus, L’Assemblée – Montréal, The Assembly – Montreal, J’aime Hydro, Fredy, The Watershed (Le partage des eaux), Seeds (Grains), Sexy béton, Import/Export, Montréal la blanche, Santé!, Novembre and 2000 questions.

National Creation Fund investment

The National Creation Fund’s investment of $140,000 supports a significantly longer period for documentary research, collaborative writing, and the scenic development of the project. In addition, the creative team will have the opportunity to explore the integration of live musicians, and possibly a choir, into the production.
