A man in uniform appears at the end of the hallway. Follow him and discover the astonishing nightly journey of a caretaker as he goes from classroom to classroom and through the hidden corners of a school. Leap into an immersive, wordless experience where reality turns into a dream.

Through its examination of what it means to be part of today’s working class, Le Concierge (The Caretaker) paints a touching portrait of a lonely character whose work is too often taken for granted. In Le Concierge, the blue collar becomes mythological. Just like Sisyphus, our protagonist also has the task of doing work that is absurd, repetitive, and endless. He becomes an allegory of the human condition.

After sold-out runs in Toronto (2023) and Ottawa (Undercurrents, 2024), the team is thrilled to be able to bring Le Concierge back to Toronto for SummerWorks!
