It is in nearly thirty theatre productions that Hubert Lemire has been a part of since his graduation from the Montreal Conservatory of Dramatic Arts. Under the direction of well-known directors including Martin Faucher, Claude Poissant, Benoît Vermeulen, Reynald Robinson and Michael Delaunoy, he works mostly in creative theatre and original plays. We saw him in Warda (Les Deux Mondes & the Rideau Theatre in Brussels), Le Songe d’une nuit d’été (Denise-Pelletier Theatre & Advienne que Pourra), Le merveilleux voyage de Réal de Montréal (Bouches Décousues Theatre & Petite Marée Theatre) and Cispersonnages en quête d'auteur-rice, a play by Catherine Bourgeois that will continue its tour throughout 2024.
On the big screen, he worked alongside Jeanne Moreau in Roméo et Juliette and in several short films, including La Ronde by Sophie Goyette and Henry by Yan England, two films highly rewarded by the industry. On the small screen, he makes apparitions in District 31 and Toute la vie.
In 2012, a defining year, he worked with an exclusively French team, stepping on the very prestigious stage of the Rond-Point Theatre in Nathalie Fillion's À l'Ouest. Since then, the trips back and forth between Europe and Quebec have been multiplying.
In addition to his acting career, he directs the DuBunker Theatre, which was revealed to the Montreal public in 2007 with the North American creation of Fabrice Melquiot's Diable en partage. Since 2013, his troupe has been traveling across the European Francophonie with the NoShow, a breathtaking show, recipient of the award for the Best International Tour, awarded by the Council of Arts and Letters of Quebec. This show, for which Hubert is an actor, co-author and director of production, has known more than 100 performances, as well as two international adaptations.
Since October 2017, Hubert has chaired the Board of Directors of the Association of Theatre Companies, the largest group of theatrical companies in Quebec. In September 2021, he was appointed artistic director and co-general director of the Théâtre du Double Signe, where, the following year, he directed the play Fanny. In 2023, he learned the saxophone in 6 months and gave a memorable performance in the adaptation of Gaz Bar Blues at the Jean Duceppe Theatre.
