Christophe (played by Sébastien Ricard) is a protagonist in Chorus.
Christophe is Irene’s partner and the father of the child whose death was confirmed after ten years. Living in Mexico when the remains are discovered, he returns to Montréal at Irene’s request. He confronts their shared guilt and grief, mourns with her, and begins imagining a possible future together, including another child. Irene (played by Fanny Mallette) appears in Chorus.
Irene is a musician whose life is disrupted when she learns that the child she and Christophe had mourned without certainty was murdered. She asks Christophe to return, struggles with guilt and unresolved grief, confronts Gabrielle over painful family silence, and participates in the funeral decisions while gradually reconnecting with Christophe. Gabrielle (played by Geneviève Bujold) appears in Chorus.
Gabrielle is Irene’s mother and becomes involved in Irene’s confrontation with painful memories. Irene accuses her of trying to suppress suffering, recalling that Gabrielle remained silent after Irene’s father’s suicide. Their conflict reflects the film’s broader concern with grief, secrecy, and the damage caused by unspoken trauma. Jean-Pierre Blake (played by Luc Senay) appears in Chorus.
Jean-Pierre Blake is the man who encountered the eight-year-old child in a park ten years earlier and offered him a ride home. He later confesses to a sexual encounter and possible involvement in the child’s death, though the exact circumstances remain unclear. After confessing, he hangs himself in prison, preventing a trial. Antonin (played by Antoine L'Écuyer) appears in Chorus.
Antonin is the victim’s only known friend. After the remains are found, the police interview him as part of their investigation and examine objects discovered beneath the park bleachers. His connection to the child provides investigators with one of the few known personal links to the victim. Hervé Laroche (played by Didier Lucien) appears in Chorus.
Hervé Laroche is a Québec police detective who handles key parts of the investigation. He receives Jean-Pierre Blake’s confession through legal contact, informs Irene and Christophe that Jean-Pierre has died in prison, and helps them access the recording of the confession. His actions connect the police inquiry with the couple’s search for understanding.
