Submissions for OutFest 2026 will open in July!
We will once again be accepting submissions from local, regional, and national artists. The festival is open to both established and emerging artists. OutFest will be looking for submisisons for our Emerging, and Open Stage.
Our Emerging Stage typically features new work that is still in development, and requires minimal tech. While our Open Stage features non-traditional performance work; pieces other than theatre or dance.
More info coming soon.
DEVELOPMENT
This show aims to push back and tackle misinformation and misconceptions about refugees and asylum seekers, while highlighting the fact that everyone deserves a safe place to live, access to health care, food, and water.
This story will also draw on the increasing threat of climate change, specifically here in Mi’kma’ki / Atlantic Canada, and will challenge audiences to ask themselves - what does it mean to be a refugee?
What does it mean to seek asylum?
Combining first-hand testimony from survivors in Holland, and Toronto, as well as over five years of research, this show uses the 2016 gay purge of people in Chechnya as a starting place to reflect the current global rise of anti-Queer and anti-Trans rhetoric. Through text, movement, and music, we follow four characters who face the impacts of forced displacement, generational colonization, and onging war.
