Initiated by Thomas Grondin in his home in Gatineau, Quebec in August 2005, Fait Maison was a party, a laboratory and a performance space. On selected evenings a few times a year an audience was invited to a party in which performances happened at different moments and spaces in and around Grondin’s home from the garden, to the kitchen, to the basement and even the bathroom. Over the years Fait Maison incorporated a range of performance artists, both emerging and established, as well as local, national and international and has had events at various alternative locations including private houses, an exhibition at G101 in 2009 and most recently at L’Imagier in Aylmer in 2017.
