Portraits de famille

What if the French Revolution had been written by its outcasts? Art historian and performer Hortense Belhôte resurrects the misfits, failures and queers that official history left behind — and turns them into a family album. Part lecture, part show, entirely irreverent — a joyful assault on everything you thought you knew.

Performed in French, with English surtitles

On tour across the Alliance Française Canada network

Partners: BMO, DRG Foundation
