November has arrived and, despite being known as the saddest month of the year, we can guarantee that this year it promises to be full of color. Grab your coat and head to our favorite theaters and concert halls to enjoy a wonderful show!


Les Gros Patinent Bien, at the Théâtre Saint-Georges

A show overflowing with creativity, to say the least. On stage, a duo. One is dressed in a three-piece suit and has an endless flow of speech in an utterly incomprehensible language. The other attempts to interpret the words of the first using scattered cards from all sides. It's completely crazy, we cry with laughter and we love it!

Hedwig and the Angry Inch, at the Café de la Danse

A rock musical comedy? That's the daring bet that Hedwig and the Angry Inch brilliantly takes on. We let ourselves be carried away by the touching story of a transgender singer, played by Brice Hillairet, who tells us the whole journey on stage, through music. From the obstacles that stood in their way to their romantic adventures, the show takes us on a true emotional rollercoaster, with a touch of rock, of course.

We tried to stage Hamlet, at the Théâtre Edgard

This is the dress rehearsal for this young theater company that is attempting to stage Hamlet, the famous work by William Shakespeare. But the show is not at all ready. The sets are not finished, the sound and lighting adjustments need work, the staging is unsteady, and the lines don't seem to want to stick in the actors' minds. One thing is for sure: this comedy that won the Trophy of Creation at the Spring of Laughter 2023 will make you laugh until you cry.

Black Legends, at the 13th Art

Want a little history lesson with some music? In just 1 hour and 30 minutes, Black Legends takes us through nearly a century of African-American music. On stage, 20 musicians, singers, and dancers transport us to the United States, during the time of segregation, in the midst of the fight for civil rights, or even on the day of Barack Obama's election. The greatest hits of black American music play one after the other: we are moved by the first notes of "A Change Is Gonna Come" and we dance to the rhythm of "Crazy In Love".
