Ottawa’s innovative contemporary theatre festival!

For over a decade, undercurrents has been showcasing some of the most innovative and thought-provoking works of art from local and national artists. Our festival brings together artists from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and disciplines to showcase their talents in an intimate and inclusive setting. Our programming is diverse and always fresh, featuring everything from experimental theatre to live music performances, from solo shows to full productions. We believe in giving a platform to emerging artists and voices that are underrepresented in mainstream media.
