About

CINARS+

Read full description

CINARS+ is the official app of the 2026 Biennale, the event organized by CINARS. Designed for performing arts professionals, it brings the essentials of your experience together in one place: the program, the participants, your conversations and your tickets. PROGRAM Browse more than 150 shows across contemporary dance, theatre, circus, undisciplined music and new writing. Filter by discipline, date or venue, and open each show's full page: company, artists, running time, venue and schedule. PARTICIPANTS Find the people and organizations attending: companies, artists, presenters and promoters. Browse profiles, see who you want to meet and keep your contacts at hand. MESSAGING Write to other participants directly in the app, before and during the Biennale, to set up a meeting or continue a conversation. After the Biennale, messaging closes: you keep your conversation history, but you can no longer write. TICKETS Your tickets and their entry QR code are right in the app. Your dashboard brings together your bookings and your personal schedule. NOTIFICATIONS Get the reminders that matter: schedule changes, upcoming shows, new messages. ENGLISH AND FRENCH The app works in both languages, your choice. ABOUT CINARS For more than 40 years, CINARS has brought performing arts professionals together from around the world and supported the international circulation of contemporary dance, theatre, circus, music and new forms of expression. Beyond the Montreal Biennale, CINARS supports companies and agents year-round through export missions and an active presence at major international markets.
