About us
The seeds of Acting for Climate were planted in Norway in 2015 by Abigael Winsvold and Victoria Gulliksen. Acting for Climate Montréal was initiated by Agathe Bisserier, Nathan Biggs-Penton, and Adrien Malette-Chénier in 2019. Our mission is to create a network of artists and activists to nurture collaboration, equity, and admiration of nature for a sustainable future.
We are inspired by Piet Hein’s definition of art as “the solution to the problems that cannot be formulated clearly before being resolved”. As artists we have the opportunity and responsibility to inspire action, joy and change.
The Acting For Climate tree is growing, both as a professional stage-performance company, with a European branch, and a Montréal branch, and as a community platform for arts and sustainability.
We intend to strengthen and expand global networks of action through interaction with local artists and activists. Acting for Climate is not just a group of performers, it is a mindset and a movement.
Acting for Climate will always strive to develop the field of performing arts, through cross-disciplinary collaboration and challenging its methods and expressions.
