Chantal Lamarre

After 40 years in the business, it's a return to her roots: a hall, a stage, a spotlight. Chantal Lamarre invites the audience to an evening reminiscent of the good old cabarets of yesteryear, where people sing songs and dare to tap dance.

An observer of the world, a mockingbird, a host and a stage performer who, until the age of 60, never thought for a second about venturing out on her own, “she sings, she dances, she acts,” the ‘oooo’ should follow the “aaa,” with the promise of laughter and, perhaps even, the indispensable little “motton” of emotion; in short, without pretension, a winning formula for a variety show with vintage codes that exploits very current issues.

Looking in the rearview mirror to envisage the future with less heaviness; the chatterbox who comments on major events with her critical sense and humor, the girl who talks about society and culture with impetuosity, and the clownish woman who has never been afraid of ridicule will come together for a wonderful evening to escape the gloom, have a smile on their faces, and see life a little differently...

Ladies, young ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between, young and new old; Steppettes et cornemuses is definitely one to add to your calendar!

* Show presented at the auditorium of the Nicolas-Gatineau comprehensive school, 360 La Vérendrye Boulevard East, Gatineau, QC, J8P 6K7
