Bain Mathieu

Bain Mathieu is a Montreal theatre most likely housed in a converted early-1930s public bathhouse — a recurring urban transformation in the city's cultural history. Its operator, the Society for the Promotion of Gigantic Arts, suggests a programming focus on experimental and large-scale performance work. Part of the neighbourhood's independent arts scene, it offers an evening programme well outside the commercial mainstream. The building's probable Art Deco origins and adaptive reuse give it a distinct character among Montreal's independent venues.
