OUR BEGINNINGS
After catching the attention of the GOP Variety Theater cabarets, in Germany, Les Deux de Pique was invited to join the production Simply the Best (2017). Following the success of this show the GOP cast them as the main characters in their show Appartement, with a run of 435 shows throughout 2018 and 2019. At the same time as these shows ere ongoing, with a desire for greater independence and influence on the show creation, the Deux de Pique team started working on their own production Trattoria. The show premiered in December 2018 with the support of the Conseil des Arts de Montréal and the Conseil des arts et lettres du Québec. A tour of their new show Trattoria is currently being organized for 2020. Les Deux de Pique will also be collaborating with the company Palazzo in the creation of a new show in Vienna for this winter season (2019-2020).
