For the 26th edition of the Parle-moi d’amour exhibition-auction, Les Impatients are honored to have the presence of the distinguished director, creator, and choreographer Lydia Bouchard as the spokesperson. Displaying fine sensitivity, keen curiosity, and great insight, Lydia has a deep love for the visual arts.

With nearly 22 years of stage experience with renowned companies such as Cirque du Soleil, Ex Machina, Cirque Eloize, Opéra de Montréal, Alberta Ballet, Mirvish, and Opéra Royal de Wallonie, she has performed on stages around the world and now shines as both an artist and creator, choreographing and directing several works with Cirque du Soleil. She is also diversifying her experience into television (Révolution), where she has become a prominent voice for the dance community in Quebec.

👉 In addition to being a judge on the show Révolution (broadcast every Sunday at 7:30 PM on TVA), she directs and choreographs several pieces for the show Minuit quelque part. She will also direct the show Révolution – L’Ultime tournée, set to premiere in winter 2025.
