Bazar Production

Depuis 2013, Les frères Bazar, devenu Bazar production en 2021, travaillent avec la même philosophie : rendre le rêve plus grand que nature. Lors de nos animations de rue, il est important pour nous que petits et grands soient convaincus qu’ils ont à faire non pas à des comédiens, mais bien à de vrais personnages sortis tout droit d’un univers parallèle au nôtre. Notre objectif principal est de faire rêver, de faire rire et d’amener les gens à devenir les héros de nos histoires rocambolesques. Avec la refonte de la compagnie, Bazar production étend son champ d’expertise en créant des animations et des formations pour des animateurs d’évènements. Pour toutes les informations sur ce nouveau volet, contactez-nous par courriel!

At VYC, we believe in the transformative power of music and the immense potential within every child.

With nearly 600 singers across 12 ensembles in 7 levels, VYC welcomes anyone who loves to sing from ages 5-24. Through community and donor support, we make choral education accessible to all, offering subsidized tuition to ALL VYC members and additional financial aid to one in four singers.
