“I LOVE MY LIFE AS A WOMAN, A GIRLFRIEND AND A MOTHER” - Evelyne Brochu
Via Échos Vedettes, March 12, 2020, Victor-Léon Cardinal
Juggling between television, cinema and music, Evelyne Brochu does not sulk about her pleasure of playing in the theatre. Playing the role of Macha in Anton Chekhov’s play Les 3 Sœurs, directed by René Richard Cyr, the artist lifts the veil on her projects and confides in her family life.
Evelyne Brochu returns to the theatre with great pleasure, this time in Les 3 Sœurs with Noémie Godin-Vigneau, Rebecca Vachon, Guillaume Cyr, Éric Bruneau and Benoît McGinnis, among others. This play tells the story of three sisters who, a year after the death of their father, have the unbearable desire to leave rural Russia to return to Moscow, where they lived a golden youth. “Chekhov is such a strong writer that he can support the visions of various directors. For this production, René Richard Cyr has drawn inspiration from various French translations of the same play, to make a streamlined version of 1 hour 35 minutes, without intermission. It’s very enjoyable to play. Plus, I feel confident with my acting partners.”
A MEMORABLE SHOOTING IN PARIS
On the television side, in January Evelyne Brochu finished filming the historical crime fiction Paris Police 1900, which will be released in France during Canal+’s next autumn-winter season. The actress plays the role of Marguerite Steinheil, who in 1899 was the mistress of French President Félix Faure, who died while making love to her. “The author of the series has taken this historical character and turned her into a spy whose primary objective is to infiltrate anti-Semitic groups. It was very exciting to play that. And I’m really looking forward to a second season.”
The actress also got a taste of Parisian life. “Last summer I went there with my mother, my husband and my son, Laurier (born in October 2018). I was able to live my family life in Paris. We were settled in the Marais district and we really sorted things out.”
LET’S GET THE MUSIC GOING!
Moreover, after releasing her debut album, Objets perdus, last autumn, written and composed by her friend Félix Dyotte, Evelyne Brochu is planning to perform her songs live on stage as early as April. “Félix and I are in the process of building a show around this album. The actor Mani Soleymanlou will be my director. I want people to experience a magical moment when they come and see me on stage. All my tour dates are posted on my Facebook page Evelyne Brochu - Musique.” The singer, who already has new songs in her drawers, leaves the door wide open to the possibility of recording a second album.
A HAVEN OF HAPPINESS AND LOVE
On a personal level, Evelyne Brochu has been giving her perfect love to her lover, Nicolas Schirmer, who is a doctor, for the past three years. “I love my life as a woman, as a girlfriend and as a mother. I consider that I have found a beautiful balance in my life, because I only do things that I am passionate about. My husband is very present. Even though we both have jobs that give us a lot of adrenaline, we’ve managed to create a haven of happiness and love at home.”
The actress would also like to have other children and one day marry the one she loves. “It’s in our plans. When I speak of him, I already say my husband. For me, there’s no doubt that he’s the man of my life.“ Having found her happiness in Quebec, the actress declares she has no intention to move abroad. "I like to travel for work, but I don’t intend to move anywhere else. My roots are here.”
