Pique summer edition — the boldest annual instalment of Debaser’s celebrated music and multi-arts festival series — takes over downtown Ottawa’s Arts Court complex. Featuring dynamic performances, thought-provoking exhibitions, and interactive installations across indoor and outdoor stages, Pique is a convergence of creativity and innovation that bridges international cultures with local communities.
Celebrated for its curatorial eclecticism, Pique brings together techno innovation, queer cabaret, laid-back indie/alternative, glitch punk, collisions of tradition and futurism, participatory installations and lots more to the festival’s summer edition.
Pique is all-ages. Tickets to Pique are pay-what-you-can. Suggested range of $45-75 includes taxes and fees.
