Biographies

Théâtre Everest

Théâtre Everest is a theater company founded in 2016 by sisters Chloe and Jade Barshee, who share its general and artistic direction. The co-directors wear the hats of playwright, director, and performer in their original creations. By alternating dramaturgical writing and stage writing, relying on improvisation, and using new technologies: this horizontal work method prioritizes their collective writing, creative instinct, the construction of evolving images, and interdisciplinarity. 

In the spring of 2016, the company marked the beginning of its adventure by receiving a grant from the creation program offered by the MAI (Montréal, arts interculturels), which allowed them to approach valuable collaborators who helped bring their first creation, Bâtardes, to life. Since 2020, Théâtre Everest has been working on their next creation, Dernière Frontière, a Franco-Yukonese co-production that was presented in Whitehorse in January 2023 as part of the Festival Pivot.
