L‘ATSA has been producing the État d’Urgence “manifestival” since 1998. In 2008, the event and ATSA received the Artistes pour la paix and Citoyen de la Culture awards.
État d’Urgence is the fruit of an impressive mobilization of several hundred people building an honest-to-goodness urban village and offering over five days, around the clock, a variety of services to homeless people. Its eclectic artistic programming serves as a catalyst for unprecedented social encounter. État d’Urgence promotes proper social hygiene because its participants deal face-to-face, help one another and discover one another. Art is the uniting principle here; it sheds light on the suffering, acknowledges it and offers strength and resilience!
Our associate artists, Sylvie Moreau and François Papineau bring to the event their love for one another and their love of creation; their constant desire to understand one another, to open up to one another, to open up to you.
