« …striking, exciting, convincing…an
extraordinary show » Benoit Aubin, Le Journal de Montréal 23

Adored by
the media, with a sold-out run in Montreal and across Québec, this contemporary
adaptation of the classic tale won three Gascon-Roux awards (awards for
Directing/Staging, Set Design and Lighting). Initially produced for the Théâtre
du Nouveau Monde (TNM), La Belle et la
Bête is a co-production of Lemieux Pilon 4D Art, Luminato and the Scène
