Joined by her team, the host welcomes artists from all backgrounds who revisit their journeys, projects and some of the defining moments of their lives.
During a recent episode, it was Varda Étienne who welcomed Annie Brocoli as part of her segment. Always as colorful and attentive to her guests, Varda led a discussion full of sincerity. Meanwhile, Annie Brocoli, who defined the childhood of an entire generation with her songs and children’s programs, continues her artistic career today in the arts world.
Over the course of the interview, she revisited different stages of her journey. One moment, in particular, captured attention when Varda revived, via a video, a past memory that stirred a lot of emotion.
A memory between the legendary Janette Bertrand and Annie Brocoli
There you could see the two women in a video where Annie met, for the first time, her idol, Janette Bertrand, whom she thanked for opening the door to many women like her.
This memorable excerpt immediately brought tears to Annie.
“What does she represent to you, this woman?” asked Varda.
“That’s exactly it, it’s the right to be a woman and to have dreams just like men have had for a long time, you know. Also, I’m different, I’m dyslexic; she is dyslexic. It’s as if she cleared a path for me. And you know, it’s tough right now, what we’re living through. Janette fought for us, it’s incredible. Hey, when I see those images, I feel like I’m a little girl before this great lady. Oh my gosh, oh wow,” Annie testified, visibly happy to have had the immense chance to meet the greatest.
Merci, Janette!
Indeed, that moment was one of the most moving of the interview. Annie Brocoli’s emotion was palpable as she revisited those defining images from her journey and paid tribute to Janette Bertrand. A segment filled with gratitude that underscores the influence this remarkable woman has had on several generations of Quebec women.
