Debaser presents.... PIQUE: Winter Edition

Arts Court, 10 Daly Avenue
Price: $35-$65 Pay What You Can Sliding Scale

Genre-bending hip hop, ambient-glitch, conceptual installation, and the return of the Queertopia kiki ball – all under one roof at Pique winter edition.
Pique winter edition returns to Arts Court on December 13, 2025 with a unique and eclectic program celebrating underground music, forward-thinking art and bold performance. Designed for discovery, community connection and radical self-expression, Pique brings together some of the boldest ground-breaking artists from across Canada to experiment and engage with the local artistic community.

QUEERTOPIA KIKI BALL

Back by popular demand, Pique will host the Queertopia kiki ball presented by Legendary Mother Maldita and Yéila Siriano, welcoming legends and leaders from ballroom scenes across Canada to not only host a ball, but also mentor emerging ballroom artists through skill-building workshops presented by MAX Ottawa.

Community members can sign up to walk the ball here: https://forms.gle/pYcdntvTGQyc8ZnN9.
