Louis (Loys) Bédard-Gagné is born
on a 12th of January, next to sea. His mother gave birth during
some vacation on one of the most outsanding beach of Corse. The
homeland of Loys being Ajaccio, he spent his childhood on the "Beauty
Island". That time has been quite happy, according to him,
even if it was boring sometimes.
He was an introverted child, therefore, to spend
his childhood in the loneliness of flourishing nature played an
important role in making him very self-centered, almost nacissic-psychotic.
One day, his parents decided to send him in a private school of
Montreal. That has been quite a painful experience for him. This
very solitary pupil was content while studying and collecting the
skins of dead animals.
When Loys was 11 years old, and met his new teacher,
Sister De Castille, the worm that he was has turned into an astounishing
butterfly. Very fast indeed, he tried to express his artistic fiber
everywhere he went. Passionnate about dancing, theater and music,
he got into a troup and got familiar with the demanding life of
an artist.
At 14 years old, he gets the firts prize of a drawing competition
when he colors an airplane on a formulary. Not only did
he win a fantastic trip to the Maldives, but his drawing has been
reproduced on a large scale, on the deck of an airplane that has
been baptised, by the same occasion, "The Airplane of Life".
The start of a beautiful career in arts.
Sister of Castille dies two years later, and Loys
quits school. He works hard in a factory of canned foods, as the
manager of the "Canned Beans Department". A repetitive
yet non-exhausting work that has helped to make his troubles of
personnality grow even stronger. Puberty being now done with its
transformations, Loys tends to show the world an ambiguous sexuality,
not to say, no sexuality at all.
One beautiful yet sad day of June, talking a walk
on the trendy St-Hubert Street of Montreal, he can hear some aggressive
music coming out of a weird store. Rock music it was ! Loys is so
shocked that he rips his left eye apart and re-baptise himself Louis
de Castille, in loving memory of his old teacher, which he
often dreamt to share her bed.
He "lived the rock" as much he could,
dreaming of glory and fame, but he was desperatly waiting for a
mentor to illuminate him. This mentor was found in Céline
B. La Terreur.
