IMPACT 09 Documentary Screening – Encore Presentation

Event Details

Event type: All Ages

Back by popular demand, we are hosting an encore presentation of the IMPACT 09 documentary in support of the Majdi Bou-Matar Bursary Fund. 

What was it like at the first IMPACT theatre festival? 

Newly uncovered from the MT Space archives, a documentary by Azam Fouk Aladeh covering the first ever IMPACT festival and all the struggles that came with it.  From the conception of the festival to opening day, come see the early days of the company as it brought theatre artists from around the world to Kitchener, Ontario for an international theatre festival like no other. 

See the vision that our Founding Artistic Director Majdi Bou-Matar had laid out for MT Space through renewed eyes. 

Runtime: 46 mins 
All fundraising events are by donation, pay-what-you-can ($10-30).  

Give $20 for 20 years! Support the Majdi Bou-Matar Bursary 

In June 2022, we tragically lost our visionary founding Artistic Director Majdi Bou-Matar. To continue his work, MT Space – in collaboration with his family – established a bursary in Majdi’s name. This was made possible by generous contributions from our community far and wide.  

This fund is dedicated to offering financial support as well as a year-long mentorship from MT Space to a racialized, newcomer, immigrant, and emerging artist. 
The inaugural winner was announced at the opening ceremonies of IMPACT 23 in September 2023.  

All proceeds from this fundraising party will go towards an endowment fund with Waterloo Region Community Foundation to keep the bursary sustainable for years to come. Support the bursary by donating $20 in celebration of MT Space’s 20 full years of theatrical work. Any and all donations are always welcomed.
