Details: Product Description Deschamps, Yvon Amazon.ca Some 30 years after his debut, Yvon Deschamps presented, in 1999, a new show on the stages of Quebec. His performance at the Manoir Rouville-Campbell was immortalized on this album. The comedian offers some "classics" from his repertoire such as "L'Ado", "Les Filles" or "Dans ma cour". But he favors novelty by presenting, with the verve and vivacity that characterizes him, a dozen new monologues. Deschamps reflects on the impasse of the national question, observes the Olympic Games with a critical eye and, in the guise of a character who lives on welfare benefits, analyzes the repercussions of globalization and the economic discourse of governments. Very relevant, this cuvée of monologues, for which Deschamps received a Félix prize, suffers a little from the absence of musical passages and from the tenderness specific to the comedian's previous shows. But boredom is never part of the game and the high quality of the monologues is enough to forgive these small gaps. --Nicolas Houle
