Ludovick Bourgeois

Les BB par Ludovick Bourgeois

After being asked repeatedly for many years, the time has finally come for Ludovick Bourgeois to pay tribute in song and design to the artistic and personal career of his famous father Patrick and his cult band Les BB. Accompanied by fantastic musicians, Ludovick will take audiences on a journey back in time, revisiting the legendary group's countless hits - Parfums du passé, Seul au combat, Donne-moi ma chance, Tu ne sauras jamais, T'es dans la lune and many others - as well as some of his personal favourites. A nostalgia-filled show, directed by Joël Legendre, that the beloved singer hopes will be as captivating as it is grandiose! Performance in French

Zeugma Danse

Errances

Filled with explosive energy, both vibrant and moving, Errances unfolds like a vast social fresco, giving life to a succession of tableaux in which the fragility of the individual and the strength of the group are sometimes expressed. The company's most recent off-site creation, this work, performed by eight artists, allows audiences to experience jigging, percussive dance and contemporary movement in close proximity to the performers, in a 360-degree formula. Errances: an odyssey that opens onto the discovery and reunion of being.

Mona DeGrenoble

De la poudre aux yeux

Known for her unifying spirit and comedic stylings, this unashamed drag queen, Mona de Grenoble (Alexandre Aussant) carries a satchel full of talent! On tour with her first one-Mona-show, entitled De la poudre aux yeux, directed by Vincent Léonard (Les Denis Drolet) audiences are in for an incredible evening. Tackling a variety of heartfelt themes, from hypochondria and the drag "invasion" to the clash between Mona and her generation and the spectre of gender-neutral pronouns, De la poudre aux yeux will also reveal more about the genesis of the irreverent but likeable drag character, and the eternal duality between her and Alexandre. "Beyond my character, behind the make-up of the sweaty madame, hides a man... who sweats even more," she says. The first drag queen to devote herself to stand-up on a major tour of Quebec, Mona de Grenoble will meet audiences somewhere between a pillow talk session and a heavy-on-the-wine family dinner! And with jokes ranging from false eyelashes to oil changes, she's just as capable of making a hairdresser laugh as a mechanic from Val d'Or. After making her mark on Le prochain stand-up, where she reached the finals, Mona de Grenoble received a nomination at the 2022 Gala Les Olivier for the podcast Entre 2 lèvres, which she co-hosted. In 2023, she entered Big Brother Célébrités, where she swept all before her, winning the season and the public's Favourite Player award. Performance in French
