Launched at the turn of the millennium, Motus celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2021. We have produced 19 original pieces aimed at young audiences, performing them at the regional, national and international levels – racking up more than 2,000 performances here at home, and also abroad, in China, the U.S., Mexico, Spain, France, Switzerland, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Greece and Costa Rica.
We’ve performed for over 420,000 spectators. Several of our plays have been translated and performed in English, in Spanish, and two in Mandarin, as well as integrating 10 other languages into our pieces.
Motus works in the medium of puppetry arts, reveling in the freedom it offers in dramaturgy and staging, the perfect vehicle for stirring emotions and pushing formal boundaries.
Co-artistic directors Hélène Ducharme et Mathilde Addy-Laird explore the relationship between puppets, acting, live music, black and color shadow theatre, and other complementary theatre forms.
Come and meet us at booth #502, #503, #504 in Americas Hall II
