RADICAL 5 ™, whose founder and artistic director is Jean-Pierre Pérusse, is a multimedia company specializing in the creation of shows for the night life. It rapidly gained recognition and was chosen, as well as Jean-Pierre Pérusse, in the TOP 10 of the « BEST DANCE COMPANY and BEST CHOREOGRAPHER » category according to popular vote of « THE BEST OF MONTREAL 2002 » in the weekly magazine MIRROR of Montreal. Since 2005 he has become the ARTISTIC DIRECTOR of the BBCM FOUNDATION for the BLACK & BLUE and the HOT & DRY which has won many international prizes such as ‘‘BEST CIRCUIT EVENT’’ of EDGE NY and ‘‘MEILLEUR FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL’’ of PINK TV Paris.

Since 1996 he creates and directs many shows for the BAD BOY CLUB MONTREAL as well as for clubs and major events in Montreal, Toronto and Quebec. His training in professional interpretation, multimedia, martial arts and in various dancing styles make his events percussive and poignant, in the image of his diversity of interests and his social implication with persons stricken by HIV/AIDS.

In addition to being an actor, (having played next to actors such as ROY DUPUIS in SCOOP 3, CRISTOPHE LAMBERT and MARIO VANPEEBLES in HIGHLANDER 3, and offering a « stunning performance » at the Montreal première of DIVINITY BASH / NINE LIVES of Bryden Macdonald), he is also co-founder of the theatrical company TR ANS-THÉÂTRE, revered by the public and its critics for the past 18 years.

Since the beginning of his career as a professional actor, he diversifies his interests and takes a liking to writing, directing, choreography and lately to multimedia which incites him to take an intensive training course at ICARI institute.
