La Chapelle Reopens To The Public This Friday, March 26

La Chapelle is very pleased to announce its reopening to the public starting this Friday, March 26, 2021. This marks the continuation of a 30th season that was somewhat challenged by the pandemic, but whose initial program has been maintained, split between public performances and shows transformed into creative residencies.

This temporary situation provided La Chapelle with the opportunity for new projects to emerge and to create them to last beyond the pandemic. For instance: Karine Sauvé // Chansons pour un musée's podcasts, the webcasts of Helen Simard's Papillon, presented by Danse-Cité and We All Fall Down and Habibi's Angels: Commission impossible by Talisman Theatre.

Also, the company recently launched its online store, where you will find La Chapelle's Essentials, a small exclusive series of soaps and tote bags made from natural products by local businesses.

And let's not forget #lachapellelit, a new online project created in collaboration with bookstores Le Port de tête, Drawn and Quarterly and Les libraires, highlighting the literary works that inspired the artists of the 2020-2021 season. In short, La Chapelle was closed to the outside, but bubbling from within.

And then, wow! The season finally continues with the return of the audience!
