Sounds interesting. It will be a first for Amandine Albisson and Josua Hoffalt.

Poor Mathias Heymann can't seem to stay healthy!

Neither Pagliero or Heymann walked in the defile that kicked off the POB's season so that makes sense they won't be in Montreal.

It seems that Alice Renavand has sustained an injury recently and won't be coming in Montreal.

There is an interview of Amandine Albisson in the Canadian newspaper.

Here is a television report about the tour, including interviews with Brigitte Lefèvre and Agnès Letestu. There are also brief glimpses of Amandine Albisson, Josua Hoffalt and others on stage.
