Offering an ironic, feminist take on the workplace, seven percussionist "secretaries" shake up their bureaucratic chips to the delight of the public. Born of a chance encounter in 1995, they have developed their musical concept in tune with a powerful artistic mandate: to spread the good news, emancipation, liberation, fulfillment and pleasure of WOMAN...through PERCUSSION.

The musical collective Les Secrétaires Percutantes is made up of 7 actress-percussionists: Nathalie Claude, Mireille Leblanc, Suzanne Lemoine, Sylvie Moreau, Brigitte Poupart, Dominique Quesnel and Isabelle Villeneuve.
