Victor Ghesquière Brings "Diamant Brut" to La Boussole

other · 2026-10-05

Victor Ghesquière presents his new show "Diamant Brut" at La Boussole. Described as a multi-award-winning Belgian festival gem, the performance uses biting humor to provoke and unsettle audiences before winning them over. Ghesquière is portrayed as a figure of contradictions — sharp as a saber, brilliant as a precious stone, modest as a Parisian, and tart as a lemon-headed firebrand — dreaming of having a street named after him while seeking to hide beneath a veneer of artifice. With a sharpened pen and a deliciously acid tongue, he plays with conventions and delivers a corrosive yet poetic show that spares no one, not even himself. Behind the cynicism and insolence, another reality may be hidden: ultimately, a diamond is just a stone that one has decided to look at differently. The event is a partner event of Club Artistik Rezo, based on a press release.
