Éloge du Chiac Disco

Mois de la Francophonie

The Kipnes Lantern takes on a distinctly Acadian flair for Mois de la Francophonie and Lisa LeBlanc’s collaboration with the NAC Orchestra

After Lisa LeBlanc’s latest album, Chiac Disco, was shortlisted for a prestigious Polaris Music Prize (having already won two ADISQ Félix awards for album production of the year and best pop album of the year), Montréal-based artist Mathieu Dionne took up the task of making the perfect poster for the occasion.

Dionne leveraged his skills as an illustrator and a designer to craft the poster’s unforgettable design: a pair of legs decked out in bell-bottoms in the colours of the Acadian flag, set against a yellow background, an echo from a not-so-distant past.
