Inside: Damien Robitaille sings Christmas
Two years ago, Damien Robitaille launched the nice album Soon it will be Christmas, composed mainly of original songs. The Franco-Ontarian singer transposes this playful and naive universe on stage in a tour that will take him across Quebec until December 21, with a visit to Montreal at the Théâtre St-Denis on November 24. We can bet that he will add some of the songs of the day that made him famous on social networks, as well as some pieces from his repertoire, and that the show, directed by Laurent Paquin, will be quite festive thank you.

Directed by Jean Bourbonnais, this film is dedicated to Jacques About, a Frenchman of origin living in Quebec who had this crazy dream of providing Quebec with his own automobile. This vehicle with a fiberglass body built with a Renault 8 chassis was produced in 150 units from 1969 to 1971. Many relatives of Mr. About and experts testify on camera. Thursday, November 18 at 8 p.m. on Historia.
