“It is with regret that Christian Bégin has to cancel his commitments for the next few weeks. After a recent health problem, he must undergo emergency surgery, which initially requires a convalescence period of indefinite duration. We deeply regret this situation, which is beyond his control. Thank you for your understanding,” wrote the KO scene team.
Due to this situation, all shows scheduled for the next two months have been postponed. The website will be updated over time with the postponement dates for the different rooms.
