SUMMARY:Pique
DESCRIPTION:Usher in the fall season with another bold and forward-thinking edition of Pique\, coming up on September 27\, 2025 at Arts Court. Showcasing experimental and underground music\, art\, and performance\, the quarterly festival features global innovators\, local creators\, and underground legends converging in downtown Ottawa’s Arts Court complex for a single-day blowout.  \n\n\n\nTaking 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 (OIAF) to co-produce multidisciplinary and interactive programming\, Pique brings together diverse artistic communities to explore\, experiment and connect. 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.  \n\n\n\nPlus\, Topique\, the forum for the exchange of forward-thinking ideas at Pique\, returns this fall with a series of artist talks and group sessions focused on building an equitable future music industry.  \n\n\n\nWith 20+ artists and 10 stages and exhibition spaces\, indoors and outdoors\, there is so much to experience at Pique!  \n\n\n\nPique is all ages and programming is offered in an accessible building with gender-inclusive washrooms.
