[Cross-interview to be found in the autumn magazine, at your newsstand or by subscription.] One opened a path, the other travels it with a new freedom. For their first real conversation and on the cover of têtu·’s autumn issue, the Quebecer Pierre Lapointe and the Belgian Pierre de Maere talk about love, sex, stage, dandyism and what twenty years have changed for gay artists in the francophone chanson.

Pierre Lapointe and Pierre de Maere share much more than a first name. For several years now, they have graced the same stages and the same francophone festivals. Both cultivate an air of romantic dandyism, a taste for lyricism of love and theatricality. The similarities extend to their zodiac sign: two Geminis born twenty years apart, within a day of one another.
