LE BOUDOIR - 2006  
Full weekend : June 29 - July 2 2006 
in Montreal

Le Boudoir is a magical evening of retro entertainment, silent films, and circus acts, presented annually in a magnificent restored theatre. Echoing an artistic period of innovation and subversion inspired by early forms of entertainment, this legendary mainstay of the queer cultural scene has been dazzling audiences for 12 years. Surrounding the main event are a MEOW MIX party, and a Sunday afternoon picnic. Last year, le Boudoir attracted an eclectic audience of over 700 people. This year, we expect to break the 1000 mark !
