A forward-thinking, artist-driven festival series like no other, Pique brings together diverse artistic communities to explore, experiment and connect.


Global innovators, local creators, and underground legends converge at Pique fall edition, a building-wide party like no other happening Saturday, September 27 at Arts Court in Ottawa. 

Taking place indoors and outdoors across 10 stages and spaces, Pique’s programming has something for everyone: from thought-provoking dialogues to ethereal electronic performances to multi-arts convergences, and even puppet dance parties. Joining forces with the Ottawa International Animation Festival, Pique unites diverse artistic communities in a shared space for exploration, experimentation, and connection.

Animating a club, a cinema, theatre and dance studios with bold, boundary-pushing presentations, Pique offers an immersive multidisciplinary experience that transforms the Arts Court into a playground for the avant-garde. 



TICKETS


As always, tickets to Pique are pay-what-you-can. 

When you pay $75 or more for a ticket to Pique, you help subsidize a ticket for someone else in need, and promote admission equity and accessibility in the arts. Each season, approximately 1 in 3 tickets to Pique are subsidized. 



SUSTAINABILITY FUND


The Pique Sustainability Fund helps sustain the Pique festival series and makes it more accessible for everyone. 

Join us in building a more inclusive, resilient future for the arts by donating to the Pique Sustainability Fund.








We acknowledge and pay respect to the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people on whose land we operate. If you support our programming, please consider supporting a local Indigenous organization or fundraiser.
