The paper argues that the relatively recent term "multicultural theatre" has not only been ambiguous but also mixed up with the concept of "intercultural" and "ethnic" theatre in Canadian theatre criticism. Ever since it became a declared national policy, multiculturalism has basically referred to a pluralistic society and culture made up by a number of ethnic groups. In terms of the theatre, it means that Canadian theatre may be regarded multicultural primarily because, in addition to the dominating English- and French-language component, it is further enriched by a number of ethnic theatre companies which have traditionally performed plays in their own language for their own communities. To support his argument, the author offers a case study of the contributions of Hungarian ethnic theatres and individuals to the development of modem Canadian theatre.
L'article soutient que le terme relativement récent du "théâtre multiculturel" a non seulement été ambigu mais également confondu avec le concept critique du théâtre "interculturel" et "ethnique". Dès qu 'il a été déclaré politique nationale, le multiculturalisme s'est référé en principe à la société pluraliste et la culture constituée de plusieurs groupes ethniques. Parlant du théâtre, cela veut dire que le théâtre canadien peut être considéré comme multiculturel parce que, en plus de sa dominante anglophone ou francophone, il s'enrichit de nombreuses troupes ethniques qui, traditionnellement, ont joué des pièces dans leur langue pour leur propre communauté. L'auteur offre une étude de cas sur la contribution des théâtres ethniques hongrois au théâtre canadien.
