Le Concierge

Théâtre du Nouvel-Ontario is a francophone theatre production company. All of our productions are presented in French, however, some shows feature English Surtitles™ so that more people can experience French theatre! We apologize, but not all content on this site is available in English.

Description

Le Concierge by Vincent Leblanc-Beaudoin in association with DopoLavoro Teatrale, will be presented in an unusual venue – Collège Notre-Dame. A man in uniform appears at the end of the corridor. Follow him as he makes his rounds through the classrooms and underbelly of a school. Soak up the silence and emptiness of the school after hours. Immerse yourself in a wordless, immersive experience where reality becomes a dream, or even a nightmare. Questioning the place of today’s working class, Le Concierge paints a touching portrait of a solitary character whose work is too often taken for granted.

Please note! Only 18 spots are available per performance for this unique show. There will also be no box office on site; tickets must be reserved before the show.

Duration: 1h20 without intermission
Location: Collège Notre-Dame (100 Levis st)

The original production in Toronto was a co-production by Vincent Leblanc-Beaudoin and the Théâtre français de Toronto, in association with DopoLavoro Teatrale.
