Renowned as one of the best show & dance event on the planet, the Black & Blue Party remains, after 16 years, truly one-of-a-kind, continuing to amaze and to lead the circuit party and the worldwide party scenes. The BBCM Foundation makes it a point to come up with new ideas and ways to produce a unique and spectacular event. The event’s theme this year is SUPERSONIC, under the artistic direction of Jean-Pierre Pérusse and the lighting direction genius of François Roupinian who will be transforming the Olympic Stadium into a gigantic retro-futurist SPACE SKYPORT on Sunday, October 8, from 9 p.m. to noon the next day.

'BBCM AIRLINES' wishes to invite the ambassadors, the patrons and the representatives of the NIGHTCLUBS of the world to come and dance on the landing strip of THE BLACK & BLUE INTERNATIONAL SKYPORT ! Our SUPERSONIC flights will be headed by our Galactic Pilots, DJs Charles Poulin (Québec City), Chus & Ceballos (Madrid), Antoine Clamaran (Paris) and Mark Anthony (Montréal). Our space travel attendants (BBCM DANCERS) will be offering the main entertainment. Their motto:“Not only flying coast-to-coast and planet- to-planet but anywhere your wishes and fantasies will take you !”

TAKE OFF WITH US !!!

Three main shows will be featured during the 14-hour long world acclaimed event: “Take off with Us”, featuring the Bad Boy Club dancers as well as singer/performer Derick Hachey and diva-singer Stephane Moraille; “Nightlife” with the Bad Boy Club Dancers and the fabulous Montreal drag queens Sheena Hershey / Jae Aviance / Vileda (aka RADICAL QUEENS); and “Stratosphere” a special show for the 25 years of AIDS, to underline the courage of those living with HIV/ Aids and to remember our friends that have disappeared.

Don't forget to explore and take advantage of the full program of the Black & Blue Festival which lasts one whole week, from Wednesday October 4th to Tuesday October 10th, and offers activities of all sorts that will please everyone !

HAVE A GREAT BLACK & BLUE FESTIVAL 2006 !

Jean-Pierre Pérusse has been active on the Canadian performing arts scene for a long time. Since 1996, he has been behind the creation and execution of some of the biggest shows produced by the BBCM at its annual events. His formation in acting, multimedia, martial arts, and dancing helps him create shows with a powerful impact, yet with a poignant effect on the people watching. This duality describes him well, and shows the diversity of his interests, and the way he found to be involved in a cause close to his heart: to provide some help to people living with HIV/AIDS.

On top of being an actor, a director and a creator, he is the co-founder of the theatrical company TRANS-THÉÂTRE, as well as the artistic director and master builder of RADICAL 5, an

innovative multimedia company specializing in the creation of various types of shows and theme nights.

It is with great pleasure that the BBCM has chosen again this year Jean-Pierre Pérusse, an artist who has been proactive in the fight against AIDS, to be the artistic director of this year's Black & Blue Party. On top of his work for this cause, he has been diagnosed with HIV himself, making him even more aware of the work that still needs to be done: he expresses it all in his shows.
