Belmont

Immerse yourself in the world and madness of Diane Dufresne; singer, actress, painter and multiple Quebecois icon whose wacky, infinite, madcap universe was the turning point for a whole generation of “different” women and artists. A celebration of feminine madness and multiplicity! 5 women: the diva, the lover, the artist, the madwoman and the little girl. All the actresses embody one of Diane Dufresne's facets, each with her own color, personality and uniqueness. A man stands beside them with an admiring eye, an open heart and open arms. It is through the presence of these 5 facets that he will discover himself as a sensitive and artistic being, freed from the social pressure to play his role according to gender standards. He will guide the audience through the various tableaux, like a skilled, magnetic and unpredictable master of ceremonies. The 5 women interact with the clown and each other, confronting, allying and eventually contaminating each other to become one splendid performer: a pink demon in human form! Folly, dreams, love, creativity, candor, arrogance, audacity, anxiety and genius all coexist in BELMONT's brilliant marasmus, a journey to the heart of feminine intensity, a window on a piece of Diane Dufresne's living work!
