The 13th edition of Les Coups de Theatre, an international art festival for young people held every two years in different venues in Montreal, took place this year. At the invitation of Remi Boucher, the festival’s founder and artistic director, 16 companies from Quebec in Canada, Mexico, France, Belgium, Spain and the Netherlands presented their productions for the first time at this year’s event. Since its establishment in 1990, Les Coupsde Theatre has contributed to the development of the arts and culture for children and young people and seeks to encourage young people’s interest in the performing arts and new artistic practices.AC/E collaborated by supporting the presence of El Patio Teatre with the show entitled A mano (By hand).A Mano, the first show produced by this young company from La Rioja, is a real gem, an exquisitely crafted piece and ‘a brilliant tribute to a craft of the past that is dying out’, according to theatre critic Jonás Sáinz. The show received the award for the best small-format show at FETEN 2013, the Drac d´Or award of the regions at Lleida Puppet Fair 2013 and the people’s award for the best show at the ENCINART festival.Performing artsFESTIVAL LES COUPS DE THÉÂTRE 2014Montreal, CanadaUsine C | Centre de création et de diffusion pluridisciplinaire 13 - 26 Nov 2014138Results ‘14
