Florence’s first act of infidelity becomes a revelation and the starting point for a reflection on happiness and the pressure to perform.

For Violette and Florence, this will be the breath of fresh air they’ve been hoping for. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival.

My Very Own Céline

• Time: Thursday, October¹, 7:30 p.m.
• Location: Club DIX30 (directions)
• Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

In this show, Stéphanie Bédard invites you to relive the world of Céline Dion through her story… and yours. Drawing on her own journey and the memories the audience has shared with her, she creates an experience of connection in which Céline’s songs resonate in a new way. The lyrics, often overshadowed by the power of the vocals, take center stage here, carried by the sensitive arrangements of Jeannot Bournival (Fred Pellerin, Tire le Coyote) and the minimalist staging of Pierre Boileau (Cirque Éloize, Lynda Thalie). More than just a tribute to Céline, it is a tribute to what she has planted within us.

When you register, a link will allow you to share what Céline means to you and to name the song that has left a lasting impression on you: it might just be included in the show.
