La Belle et la Bête to tour in France in 2013



Starting with eight representations at the Theatre national de Chaillot in Paris, Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon’s, La Belle et la Bête will tour France in February and March 2013.  The tour will take the company to Compiègne, Arcachon, Bayonne, Colombes, Nevers and Ste-Maxime  ( a few other stops to be confirmed soon). 

It is a return to the prestigious Théâtre de Chaillot by Lemieux Pilon 4D Art who had presented in 2010, their previous multidisciplinary show Norman during the Anticode Festival.

The show will star Bénédicte Décary (as Belle), Louise Laprade (as The Lady) and Stéphane Demers (as the Beast). Anne-Marie Cadieux (the Sister) and Peter James (the Demon) will appear virtually.
The team has been rehearsing for the past month in an old boat factory in Montréal La Belle et la Bête for the world English language premiere at Toronto’s Luminato Festival in June 2012.  The show will also be presented at Arts Emerson Theater in Boston in December 2012.
