Kim Yaroshevskaya

Commander
2023

Thanks to her legendary character Fanfreluche, Kim Yaroshevskaya has sparked the imagination of thousands of Québec children, glued to their family television sets after school.

Her unique way of sharing her singular universe was instrumental in inspiring the creativity of so many young people. Now adults, many have become artists and continue to nourish Montréal’s cultural scene with the fantasy and freedom of expression that she so admirably instilled in them. Kim Yaroshevskaya has passed on her passion for acting and writing through her other roles in theatre and film and, particularly as a writer and teacher, has contributed to the training of many playwrights.
