1770: At 14, at the Sistine Chapel, the prodigious Amadeus Mozart succeeded in rewriting without any mistake 'Allegri's Miserere', after hearing it only once.
1974: At 11, at the New Hope Baptist Church, the amazing Whitney Houston succeeded in making people sob by singing in her angelic voice 'Guide Me, O Thou Great Jeovah'.
1994: At 12, Simon, at the church of Saint-Rémi de Napierville, succeeded in achieving the astounding miracle of his voice breaking live, right in the middle of his solo, his voice choked in front of the pious crowd. It was enough for him to stop believing in God, and to turn to his second divine gift, dance.

First presented three years ago this production has since toured the Globe including as far away as in Africa. This critically acclaimed theatrical movement solo performance is created and performed by Simon Boulrice and directed by Sarah Berthiaume. Both poetic and literally moving, it is as humorous as it is emotionally moving. The grand dramatic jestures are well balanced by the nuance of his subtle gestures. Recently playing on the Thèâtre d'Aujourd'hui stage to sold out audiences, January 12-30.
