This speech will be live-streamed on the Facebook event of the local meeting in Montreal.

Martin Faucher was the director of the company Daniel Léveillé Danse from 1994 to 2014. President of the Conseil québécois du théâtre from 2005 to 2009, he worked on the Seconds États généraux du théâtre professionnel québécois, which took place in 2007. He has also contributed his time and skills to the Fondation Gratien-Gélinas, the Centre des auteurs dramatiques and Théâtre Bouches Décousues. Since 2017 he has been a regular guest commentator on the radio show Médium Large, broadcast by Radio-Canada’s ICI Première. An active promoter of theatre and dance, he campaigns for recognition of the work of artists, and ensures that the FTA offers them the best ethical and artistic conditions for the presentation of their works.

Martin Faucher arrived at the FTA in 2006 as an artistic consultant. He worked for eight years with Marie-Hélène Falcon before being named artistic director and co-executive director in 2014. Like his predecessor, his artistic programming reflects an insatiable curiosity for theatre and dance from all over the world, and he is constantly scouting for exciting new works. With a passion for history and driven by a desire to pass on know-how, Martin Faucher is a communicator and a pedagogue much appreciated by many generations of artists. He teaches on a regular basis at the National Theatre School of Canada, which gave him its Gascon Thomas Award in 2018.
