Anika Lirette is a bilingual theatre and film artist, an artistic director, a project creator and a facilitator living in Acadie. She has performed in theatres throughout Acadie, Louisiana, Maine, St. Pierre and Miquelon, Quebec and Germany. Anika used to manage the artistic direction, the writing and the staging of new bilingual stories at the Grand-Pré National Historic Site between 2016 and 2019. She co-directed Le Théâtre Alacenne, a ad hoc project-based theatre company from 2003 to 2018. She is a young ambassador for the francophonie des Amériques and as such has traveled to New York, Louisiana, Maine and Costa Rica several times. She has lived abroad, more specifically in Eastern Europe, and is passionate about stories from around the world.

Anika has been at the Mermaid Theatre loft a few times for her projects with the Grand-Pré Historical Site and also with Theatre Alacenne. She worked at Mermaid for the creation of the play Ally and the Forest, a bilingual production that toured New Brunswick that was made with mostly recyclable materials. She has been at Mermaid with her Grand-Pré team to create the plays Village and Voyage, both a bilingual experience at the site that included puppetry. She also brought to screen a small web project at Mermaid called the Origins of Grand-Pré and recently worked as a co-host for the French Acadian part of the Animalingo series with Lapin!
