Madpoetix Productions
For nearly two decades, we’ve been the stage where Montreal’s spoken word and performance artists find their voice and refine their craft.
Nurturing Artists. Amplifying Voices.
From a Living Room Dream
to a Cultural Keystone
Conceived in 2004, Madpoetix began as a simple idea: to create a platform where artists could sharpen their tools and be encouraged to pursue their art full-time. Over the years, through productions like The Art of Performing Aural Sex, Soirée Intimes, and The Phenomenal 5IVE, we’ve witnessed that mandate come to life, with countless artists launching their careers from our stage.

Artist Testimonial
On Discovery
“This workshop allowed me to explore and expand. This is my first time writing with the intent to share as a spoken word artist/storyteller, and I enjoyed the prompts.”
On the Process
“Prompts were unexpected and challenging, yet when you sit down with a timer and a social contract, something comes out of it. And it’s better than what I expected from a first draft.”
On Performance
“The improv poetry readings stood out. It’s fascinating to see how more impactful a piece can be when acting as a character and breaking the fourth wall.”
On Breakthroughs
“The distraction exercise taught me that I need to learn to use my body and presence to grab attention and maintain it… it revealed that I’m still holding back my voice.”
Build the Future With Us
Our vision is expanding. We are working towards becoming a charitable organization, securing a permanent home, and establishing scholarships to support BIPOC artists in Montreal for generations to come. Join us in this mission.
