Christine Lebel's (aka Chocolate Lady) Montreal exhibition/performance played on the ambiguities between chocolate and sexuality, the artist and the character by making DARE-DARE a place for consumption. She wisely chose to have her chocolate opening at Easter. The cocotte in question is her own body that she molded, poured in chocolate, broke up and wrapped. It was distributed and sold to the highest bidder at an aphrodisiac auction. During the exhibition, she made several trips to the street at lunchtime. Dressed in stilettos and a black raincoat, the Chocolate Lady handed out business cards that read Je serai... ta cocotte and the telephone number of DARE-DARE, piquing the curiosity of passers-by and leaving doubt about the merchandise offered.

This exhibition is part of her master's degree at UQAM, which focuses on the investment of the private body in the public place.
