The 2026 Moncton Theatre Pic Nic, organized by Satellite Théâtre is here!
At the intersection of sharing, reflection, and celebration, the Theatre Picnic embodies the spirit of Satellite Théâtre’s École de Création : a space where the body, imagination, and collective experience are at the heart of the artistic gesture. Performances, open workshops, public discussions, and moments of conviviality intertwine to create an event that is accessible, generous, and deeply human.
Professional events:
On top of nightly performances of Nassim Soleilmanpour's world-renowned White Rabbit Red Rabbit in French, English and Arabic, the Pic Nic includes two main professional events:
Two opportunities for professionals to showcase their talents: one for performers, the other for creators.
(Yes, you can absolutely be both!)
As part of the 2026 Pic Nic, Satellite Théâtre is offering two complementary spaces for artists:
On one side, a moment dedicated to performers - to be seen, build their network, and create professional connections.
On the other, an evening designed for creators - a space to share ideas, forms, and instincts without filters, whether still in progress or fully realized.
(Again, yes, you can be both!)

9:00 PM - Buffet continental: an open mic at your own risk
As part of the 2026 Pique-nique théâtral, Satellite Théâtre offers a playground for creators, inviting artists to share their universe with the public in a cabaret-style open mic night.
No expectations of polish or format here: weird, funny, sexy, moving, messy, in-progress, almost finished, half-baked — everything is welcome in this wide-open space of creative freedom.
Creators should know they will have a 10 minutes maximum performance window.
Limited spots. Registration required: [email protected]
