Expert-guest

A driving force in Quebec City’s artistic milieu, Harold Rhéaume has built up a prolific, accessible, authentic and profoundly human body of work since his debut with the Groupe de la Place Royale in 1989. An instinctive dancer with a passion for Fred Astaire, art, architecture and human relations, his work is concrete, expressive, sculptural and highly sensitive. An auteur, theatrical and aesthetic dance that has charmed audiences across Quebec, Canada, France, Belgium, Scotland and the United States.

A versatile artist involved in his community, he is artistic director of his company Le fils d’Adrien danse, named in memory of his father. He is also a teacher, animator, lecturer and artistic consultant, in addition to producing several choreographies for theater, circus, symphonic music and opera.
