Louis-José Houde is launching a new tour with a brand new show entitled And until the end the beauty., his 6th official show in his career and his 9th including his three hidden shows. A series of performances will go on sale today, marking the start of this tour across Quebec. The media premieres will take place on October 21 at Place des Arts and November 3 at the Grand Théâtre de Québec.
Faithful to his unique style, Louis-José Houde offers here a show written over a period of seven years, nourished by fragments of life and refined on stage for some time.
“A treatise on memory, illness, these people we love and who leave us. But I also make comical faces! For this new effort, I will not give you the trick of “a more personal show…” That, I have already done. I turn here to others – to another in particular – and to an incurable illness which takes away from me and my family, our mother: an inimitable iconoclast, a free thinker open to the world and its beauty; a lover of life leaving a colossal impact on mine. Our family adventure through the health system, its flaws, its successes (yes, yes…), our role as caregivers and our very curious collective relationship with aging and the fate of the elderly. I wrote this show over a period of seven years. Through support in illness, loss of autonomy, anger and small rays of light. A private diary that has become public. And until the end, beauty. »– Louis-José Houde
