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


A building-wide multi-arts event like no other, Pique facilitates discovery of independent artists and the presentation of groundbreaking new work.

On June 7, 2025, Pique summer edition — the boldest annual installment of Debaser’s celebrated music and multi-arts festival series — takes over downtown Ottawa’s Arts Court complex. Featuring dynamic performances, thought-provoking exhibitions, and interactive installations across indoor and outdoor stages, Pique is a convergence of creativity and innovation that bridges international cultures with local communities. 

Celebrated for its curatorial eclecticism, Pique brings together techno innovation, queer cabaret, laid-back indie/alternative, glitch punk, collisions of tradition and futurism, participatory installations and lots more to the festival’s summer edition.
