The Belgian Chocolate Shop's 40th Anniversary: Chocolat

Fox Theatre
Wednesday, May 7, 2025 6:40 PM
Join us to celebrate the 40th anniversary of local favourite, The Belgian Chocolate Shop, with this sweet fable of emotional liberation and, of course, chocolate!

When mysterious Vianne (played by the ethereal Juliette Binoche) and her child arrive in a tranquil French town in the winter of 1959, no one could have imagined the impact that she and her spirited daughter would have on the community stubbornly rooted in tradition.

Within days, she opens an unusual chocolate shop, across the square from the church. Her ability to perceive her customers’ desires and satisfy them with just the right confection, coaxes the villagers to abandon themselves to temptation — just as Lent begins.

Will the transformative, if not magical, qualities of her chocolates, open up the minds and hearts of the villagers?
