The actress was quick to reveal some secrets to host France Beaudoin.
“We swam naked in rivers and smoked pot before it was legal,” confided Louise Portal at the start of the show, accompanied by her box of tissues.
It was Damien Robitaille, with the piece Les Cornichons, who played the first chords of the traditional opening medley.
At the same time, the evening was off to a good start.
Actresses Catherine Trudeau and Dorothy Berryman, singer-songwriter Scott-Pien Picard, his sister Priscilla Lapointe, Gregory Charles and actor Patrick Labbé took part in this number, once again well put together by Jean-Benoît Lasanté.
And just before the break, Marina Orsini, whose talent as a singer is well known, offered a piece by Tina Turner to the guest of the evening.
His father’s love
Pierre Lapointe came to perform Maman, papa, a song that moved her to tears, she who had a very beautiful relationship with her father. The latter, a doctor from Chicoutimi, but also an author, bore the pen name of Portal.
Throughout her time with the Ursulines in Quebec, her father sent her long letters, as well as to her sister who was with her at the nuns’ boarding school.
Mélissa Bédard, one of her many favorites, performed with all the grace and talent that we know of her, the great success I Will Always Love You.
…and his friends
Her great friends and co-authors of the book A Summer of Three Graces — Marie-Lou Dion and Christiane Pasquier — offered her a passage from this book against a backdrop of freedom and to the tune of The Heart Is a Bird by Richard Desjardins.
We were also treated to his wedding singer, Jacques Lavallée, who offered him a traditional song just before the entry on stage of the artists of the musical Hair which reminded him of the wild years of his beginnings in Montreal, and this, thanks to the interpretation of Aquarius and Let The Sunshine In.
The surprise
We have known for a long time that France Beaudoin and her team are capable of giving us big surprises on this set.
And this time was no exception as Claude Gauthier showed up to offer Louise Portal The Most Beautiful Journey.
The great poet, despite his age, stood with this great fragility which has always characterized him.
What a beautiful gift for us as well as for the guest of the evening.
Finally, Priscilla Lapointe took her guitar to sing Si Seul, a song that she wrote and which will be launched soon to support various mental health initiatives, while it is on the classic by Pauline Julien, J’ai l soul to tenderness, that this episode has come to an end.
Next week, we will enter the world of Dominic Paquet.
