Theater and classical music in the spotlight in Old Lévis

For this show hosted by Hubert Proulx, actor from Lévis, and Vander, member of Colocs, there are only a few tickets left.

Invitation to rediscover On the road
On the occasion of his series À l’heure du thé, the Birthplace of Louis Fréchette welcomes the author Maxime Catellier. In 2023, the latter published Jean dit, published by L’oie de Cravan. An intimate and accurate reflection on the mother tongue of American author Jack Kerouac, this poetic suite traces a symbolic link between these two writers, through two totally different eras. Participants in the activity of the Lévis organization will therefore be able to dive with the Lower Laurentian author to discover his work and his tribute to Jack Kerouac.
