The heart of Quebec City will host, for a 38th edition, the RIDEAU event: a French-speaking event that highlights the performing arts in America. RIDEAU 2025 will take place from February 16 to 20, 2025 and the RIDEAU Awards Gala will take place on February 20.
Many actors from the performing arts sector will gather to meet or discover artists from the world of dance, music, theater, circus and humor. 68 different performances, mainly in the form of 20-minute showcases, will take place in several venues in Quebec.
As for the performances that concern us the most, many varied musical projects will be there. Among these, note the participation of HAWA B, Émile Bourgault, Hello Ghost, Myriam Gendron, Mike Clay, FALSE::FALSE et Virginie B.
Free Entries open free to the public will be revealed next January.
