The show, conceived and performed by Camille Ferré and Alice Messager, offers a journey through the career of the famous Quebec artist. The two performers, commissioned by Céline Dion herself according to the narrative, recreated her iconic outfits and revisited her essential hits. The production, created in 2022 at the Théâtre du Grand Rond in Toulouse and directed by Lucas Lemauff, balances sincere homage with humor, laughing with Céline, never at her.
Opening the evening, Dominique Arramond, deputy mayor for cultural affairs, highlighted the cultural diversity of Lourdes, recalling the preceding papal weekend and the Céline Dion evening. She affirmed that this richness demonstrates a vibrant city.
Following the performance, the audience had the opportunity to extend their immersion into Céline Dion's world by watching the film Aline by Valérie Lemercier (2020), loosely inspired by the singer's life.
The cultural season continues on Friday, October 9th, at 8:30 PM with the show 'Que du bonheur (avec vos capteurs)' by Thierry Collet and Cie Le Phalène, exploring new magic, artificial intelligence, and the internet. Reservations are recommended due to limited seating.
