Presented by Caisse d’économie solidaire Desjardins, in collaboration with Aéroport international Jean-Lesage de Québec, the benefit event L’Extravaganza du Diamant – Défis d’improvisation promises a one-of-a-kind experience! Six renowned artists, among the best improvisers, will take the stage with no script or prior preparation. They will spontaneously respond to prompts from the evening’s head chef, Dominic Lapointe, under the guidance of the experienced team from the Festival d’Impro de Québec.
Fabiola Aladin, Lelouis Courchesne, Marie Soleil Dion, Pier-Luc Funk, Laurent Paquin and Tammy Verge will create never-before-seen scenes, moving from cutting-edge performances to almost insurmountable challenges, blending playful games with endless moments of laughter.
A one-of-a-kind improv night not to be missed, in the presence of the Diamant co-founders, Lynda Beaulieu and Robert Lepage.
The event is under the honorary chairmanship of Ms. Marie-Christine Laflamme, Ms. Claudia Laflamme, Mr. Alexandre Laflamme, and Mr. Charles Laflamme of Meubles South Shore.
