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. Please note! Only 18 spots are available per performance for this unique show.
