This Sunday we had the opportunity to speak with the wonderful France Beaudoin, when she had just received the award for “Best Animation: Variety or Performing Arts Special Program or Series” for En direct de l universe in Gemini 2023.
Evidently, the host and producer was as proud as she was happy for this victory, achieved after incredible teamwork: “ I am always happy with this team. After 15 years, there is something that works, there is something that lasts. It is seeing that it does not go out, on the contrary. »
He adds in this sense: “ Animation is a job. I know it’s a cliché to say that, but if they don’t sing, I don’t do anything. »
In doing so, we wanted to return to the first episode of the fifteenth season ofLive from the universe, dedicated to Kim Richardson. We feel an emotion rarely achieved, especially on the part of the presenter, which she herself confirms to us.
« We wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else. », he says immediately about the magical evening.
More specifically, about the masterful appearance of Jackie Richardson, Kim’s mother and also an award-winning singer and actress whose career spans more than fifty years, France Beaudoin tells us: “ In the afternoon, during the rehearsal, I thought that Virginie couldn’t sing at night, I thought that the stage director, Mélanie Félix, couldn’t do it either. Everyone, EVERYONE was excited. » This moment had also greatly shocked the spectators.
She continues: ” Usually, I know, I learn my stuff before, I mix it up, but there, it was so authentic, so naked, so just what was needed… There was something so deep, so straight to the heart, so frank. It did not make sense! What we lived on that set, when I say “we live for these things,” that’s it! »
She concludes like this: “ Yesterday it was at the top of our favorite programs. »
This is an opinion that we share 100%, it is an episode that we will remember for a long time. Rewatch the segment with Jackie Richardson here.
