L'Hermite is the story of an old man who, having wandered for years, no longer takes pleasure in anything. One day, he has an encounter that will shake up his monotonous daily life and turn his world upside down forever. This tale addresses the themes of solitude and old age, but also of friendship and hope. L'Hermite is a circus work that highlights shadow theater and acrobatic performance as you've never seen it before. This show is lulled by an original soundtrack that transports us throughout this touching adventure.

Andy Giroux

Since the birth of her Bermuda project, Dominique has increasingly used her own French to express herself in her songs. She invents words, includes English and often mixes French and English to create double meanings in her songs. With the release of her first album, Bermuda offers a unifying, daring show centered on her explosive performing talents. It will be divided into 3 acts without intermission, the first will be assertive and committed, the second will be more unifying and intimate and the third will be a celebration of freedom.

The Innu group Maten is from Mani-Utenam, on the North Shore of Quebec, anchored between the shores of the St. Lawrence and the boreal forest. Maten, formed by Mathieu Mckenzie, Samuel Pinette and Kim Fontaine, has toured hundreds of stages in Quebec since the late 1990s. The trio demonstrates a real commitment to their community, their language and their Innu roots. And that is the whole point of the album Utenat (The Big City), whose lyrics convey their values, their culture and the pride of their identity.

This is the story of a girl who will be in the front row of the flooding of her village following the construction of a hydroelectric dam. She will see the political shenanigans, the random constructions and the reality of families who have to rebuild themselves in some other place. All this, with humor and lucidity at the same time. SORTIR LA TEMPÊTE DU VERRE tells the stories of people for whom water has changed everything in their lives. We navigate between laughter and emotion.

Since her notable participation in Star Académie in 2012, Mélissa Bédard has established herself as a dominant figure in the Quebec artistic community. She presents her new show in which she interprets the great successes of the French-speaking world in her own way. A multi-talented artist, the charismatic singer also proves to be an exceptional actress in the dramatic comedy M'entends-tu, where she played the unforgettable Fabiola. The one who masters the art of dazzling us with her intimate and powerful voice should give an extraordinary breath of fresh air to a repertoire that already is!
