Biographies

After a school journey with a concentration in circus arts and then in musicals, Flavie left Rimouski to settle in Montreal and start studying at the Cégep de Saint-Laurent in theatre. After obtaining her CED, she decided to continue her singing career. In 2024, she graduated from the Conservatoire d'art dramatique de Québec, at stake. She is also the author, composer and singer of the musical band Bonace. Released in the spring of 2025, Feutrée, the band's first microalbum, is called a "poético-revendicator" by the artist. In the autumn of 2026 their second EP "Glass Ceiling" will appear. This desire to break down is also reflected in his writing work. In 2024, One of his texts was selected for the Porte-Voix event for a reading at Théâtre La Licorne in Montreal. A central mandate of his practice is to create a harmonious encounter between his different artistic universes. His play Frufrues was published in its entirety at the Festival du Neuve Lu Québec in December 2025, with a sound design signed by Bonace. Mathilde Eustache Mathilde graduated in 2023 from the Conservatoire d'art dramatique de Québec in the field of performing arts from a very young age. She attended schools at an early age where she learned plastic art, dance, music and theatre. From the time she came out of the CADQ, she was lucky enough to go up on the boards in the room Where I am standing in La Bordee, in the Vesuvius painting of Where you go when you sleep walking, in several laboratories, at Jamais Lu in 2023 as an interpreter and in 2024 as an author, and soon in The trajectory of the Confettis at the Trident. Today Mathilde aspires to create and interpret significant works that will remind their audience of the importance of art in society. Elfée Beauchesne Elfée Beauchesne is a feminist and committed artist. A graduate of the Conservatoire d'art dramatique de Québec in 2024, she found on stage a space of freedom, resistance and real pleasure. His journey is marked by a passion for movement, writing and especially the clown. At the École de Cirque in Brussels, she plunges into the body game and the physicality of the movement. Then, during an internship with DynamO Theatre in the autumn of 2024, she explores the clownesque game in its purest form. Having a political refugee parent from Chile, Elfée develops her political commitment early on; she believes that the scene is a collective place, a tool of resistance and a powerful way to create a link... Whether it is in the brilliance of comedy or in the depths of drama, she plunges with sensitivity into everything she undertakes. Jeane Latreille A graduate of the Conservatoire d'art dramatique de Québec in 2024, Jeane is an artist with multidisciplinary aspirations. Indeed, she has bathed in the arts since her very young age. She studied music, dance, plastic art and theatre from primary school and continued her training in cello until the end of her high school. It was in theatre that she decided to continue her journey at Cégep St-Laurent, where she finished her CED. Upon her release from the Conservatoire, she staged the theatre troupe Les Corps Étrangers de l'Université Laval, in an excerpt from the play Les Voisins, presented in the winter of 2025. She will also attend the staging with Rosalie Cournoyer in the piece Génération Danse, presented by the CADQ graduates in May 2025. Myriam Lenfesty A graduate of the Conservatoire d'art dramatique de Québec in 2020, Myriam Lenfesty is an actress and visual artist.Since her graduation from the school, she has collaborated on various creative projects that allow her to deepen her practice while revealing her great versatility as an interpreter.

Bonace Based in Quebec City, Bonace is a feminist group committed to pop- francophone sounds. The texts of Flavie Dornier, a singer, actress and promoter of the project, address political and social themes, especially feminist issues, with a pen at the same time soft and striking. With a strong theatricality, Bonace's show combines flamboyant costumes, broken accessories and assumed staging to offer a festive and immersive experience. If the topics are sensitive, their music remains lively and accessible. Bonace continues to push conventions while celebrating the richness of Francophone culture through a demanding, queer and resolutely flyé universe. Laura Samson Laura Samson was first trained in classical piano at the Preparatory School of Music at Laval University. She turns to jazz as part of her graduate studies. In 2023, she obtained a scholarship for the project to support emerging artists in the city of Lévis and launched her first album of compositions "Repair".
