In Memoriam – Majdi Bou-Matar
Remembering Majdi –
Living Memorial Page
In late June 2022, we learned our beloved friend, colleague, and founder of MT Space, Majdi Bou-Matar, had passed away unexpectedly. A trailblazer in our industry, both nationally and internationally, Majdi touched many lives through his work and his love for the community.
He founded MT Space back in 2004 for racialized and marginalized voices to tell their stories, while addressing the social issues of our times. Majdi brought different communities together to create a community of difference.
This page is dedicated to Majdi Bou-Matar as an open, living, online memorial — a communal celebration honouring the life of a giant in Canadian and international theatre.
Honouring a Legacy –
The Majdi Bou-Matar Bursary
Coinciding with the start of our Giving Tuesday campaign in 2022, MT Space launched a new initiative in collaboration with the family of Majdi Bou-Matar—in memory of our visionary, founding artistic director.
This fund is dedicated to offering financial support as well as mentorship from MT Space to a newcomer, immigrant, racialized, and emerging artist—on an annual basis.
As of December 2022 we had already raised $15,000, with a goal of raising $50,000 by September 2023 and naming the first beneficiary at the IMPACT23 Festival.
20 years
filling the empty space
MT Space is dedicated to theatre that centralizes marginalized voices to address social issues and constitute a vibrant intercultural community.
Founded in 2004 by Majdi Bou-Matar, MT Space has grown from producing one show every year to a touring company that also presents a season of theatre and a biennial international theatre festival called IMPACT.
Now under the leadership of Pam Patel, MT Space continues to engage and challenge audiences, bringing different communities together to create a community of difference.
