PRESS RELEASE:
One hundred and five years after its March 6, 1916 opening, the THE THÉÂTRE ST-DENIS has added a new, grandiose chapter to its history.
The legendary venue has become part of a multipurpose entertainment complex called ESPACE ST-DENIS, an important cultural, touristic, technological and gastronomic hub.
THE THÉÂTRE ST-DENIS is a major economic driver of the Quartier Latin, and its integration into ESPACE ST-DENIS will not only strengthen this role but also significantly contribute to the revitalization of the area.
Along with ESPACE ST.-DENIS comes the long-awaited and highly-anticipated opening of ESPACE ST-DENIS’ STUDIO-CABARET taking place September 8, 2022.
ABOUT THE SHOW
“MY ISLAND, MY HEART” tells the tale of Pablo - A new arrival, Pablo finds himself in Montreal as the result of a fleeting romantic relationship, but whose fate will take a completely unexpected turn. Pablo’s story takes the audience on a journey that includes meeting a variety of characters and discovering a universe which, ultimately, could very well be our own!
