Emerging Talent Touring 2025

Register

An exceptional opportunity for an emerging troupe or artist to take their first steps on Quebec stages.

The Program

The starting point for circus touring in Quebec begins here.
Organizing a tour is a significant challenge, especially for an artist at the beginning of their career. That is why En Piste, with the support of the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ), is launching a new edition of the Emerging Talent Touring program, an initiative that propels the creators of tomorrow onto Quebec’s roads.

We seek to highlight emerging talents: a troupe or artist who has never had the opportunity to tour their creation in a venue in Quebec. It is an artistic and human adventure, a unique opportunity to perform, shine, and captivate audiences across the province.
