« It is with great enthusiasm that I chair the 12th Les Minutes chorégraphiques fundraising campaign and the Carré des Lombes / Danièle Desnoyers benefit evening.

I’m currently working on a book, to be published in the fall, based on correspondence with my friend Steve Gagnon. Our writings are called Architectures de la joie. Together, we reflect on joy as an act of resistance. This seems to me to be perfectly in line with Danièle Desnoyers’ proposal and approach.

I invite you to join us on May 14 at 6 p.m., to cultivate our shared joy and make this essential gesture of commitment to the living arts. Because it’s on a daily basis that we collectively build our culture. »

« Bright, rich with unifying artistic projects, the year 2025 lifts us up.

Once again, we create for the stage. We transpose our art into new environments. We reach out to audiences and pass on our rich knowledge.

On May 14, we invite you to make a difference with us.

We’re standing up against the wind, thanks to your support. Your involvement fuels our courage and rekindles the values we share. Acting on all fronts, we bring our shared joy to celebrate the living.

Let’s dance! »
