The Gala de la Francophonie promises a spectacular evening where laughter playfully mingles with chaos. Hosted by Alban Ivanov and Marie-Lyne Joncas—two major figures in Francophone comedy—the gala brings together artists from across the Francophone world, including Quebec, Canada, France, Switzerland, Belgium, and Africa, on a legendary stage.
As Alban Ivanov arrives in Montreal convinced he’s the evening’s host, a delightful misunderstanding unfolds: the true emcee is Marie-Lyne Joncas—firmly in control and entirely legitimate. Two galas seem to run in parallel: one fluid and tightly orchestrated, the other unpredictable and joyfully chaotic.
