Josée Boudreault, plus forte que l'AVC

Come in under the Big Top for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Cirque du Soleil's ninth creation, which critics have described as "the most dramatic, the most esthetic and perhaps the most melancholy show in the history of this marvelous circus" (La Presse, Montreal).

Driven by her love for horses, Sophie-Catherine Laflamme became an accomplished rider destined for a brilliant career. In April 2012, her life was turned upside down during a routine practice session. When her horse refused to cross an obstacle, Sophie fell and hit her head violently. Doctors tell her that she won’t be able to breathe on her own, nor move her limbs. From the first moment following her fall, the young woman has been determined to regain her autonomy and climb back in the saddle.

Maude is 17 years old. At birth, she shows signs that make it impossible to identify her gender. The doctors decide she's a girl. Today, she's preparing for a surgical procedure that will transform her into a young man named Justin.
