Mara Dupas

Mara Dupas is a dance artist and writer. She collaborates with other artists as a performer, while developing her own choreographic practice. From 2021 to 2025, she created the solos Olympia 2.0 and Dépi temps, presented in Montreal by Tangente Danse and then on tour across Quebec at Carré 150, among others. Her piece FANM was presented at the Phénoména Festival and OFFTA.

Her writing practice has led her to publish a number of texts, notably in the magazine Zinc (2022).

Navigating between words and gesture, her works explore Afro-descendant and queer diasporic experiences, and draw on themes linked to popular culture, family memory and nostalgia. She is fond of archives and mysteries.

Mara lives and works in Montreal.
