The Boulay Sisters
After more than a hundred shows of 4488 de l'Amour throughout Quebec, but also in Canada and Europe, the Boulay sisters needed to get together, as a duo, in a more sober and relaxed atmosphere. For the occasion, they will improvise jack-of-all-trades, re-taming both string instruments and percussion, imperfect but sovereign, in an intimate show where songs and confidences will be queens.

Songwriter, originally from Pikogan, a small Algonquin community landlocked in the city of Amos, in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Samian won over his audience by proudly wearing his colors; those of an entire people, this “invisible” people that he calls “invincible” and for which he claims respect and recognition. Voice through which is expressed, in the present, a centuries-old story. The Métis rapper declaims his poetry with the soul of a warrior!

THE HAZARDS OF ELSEWHERE : THE SHOW
On stage, Simon Boudreau is a BAND. Always accompanied by the same three musicians with whom he creates surprising arrangements, the show is a constantly evolving laboratory that leaves no room for indifference. It's an authentic and unpretentious space-time… A sort of flea market of words, reflections and musical tongue-in-cheek. In short, a very nice patent.

Francois Leveillee
Everything is chemical
When you're an artist, you've been in the business for forty years and you've turned sixty, you can afford to realize your dream. Passionate, jacks of all trades, like an alchemist, François Léveillée has spent his entire life measuring himself against time, challenging the human species, mastering matter and confronting the elements. He had the choice of weapons. Author, composer, performer, guitarist, director, actor, writer and… handyman, nothing could resist him!
In 2012, after four comedy tours, he chose to return to his laboratory to create a new synthesis show combining music and humor. Two products as difficult to mix as water and acid; question of dosage… This resulted in “ The second role of your life ” a production that he presented to more than a hundred covers and which has won praise from audiences and critics alike.
Always eager to refine his art, François Léveillée delved into the news, dissected the collective unconscious, analyzed mores to extract scents that cause tiny electrical signals and trigger the release of chemical keys that neurons exchange . The result is a show with an indelible scent from which the public leaves with a smile on their face and a contagious feeling of well-being. In short, Léveillée in humor and song is the alchemy of guaranteed happiness.

Offering a sound of its own, but still evolving, it transports us with pleasure into its rich and varied musical universe, with original texts in which a whole range of characters rub shoulders from his daily life and his memories as well as his unbridled imagination.
