On Call is an extraordinary theatrical experience, and an intense closed-door experience for three spectators that takes place in the back of an ambulance.
It is a short-form play that captures the vulnerability of life in a race against the clock. When medical and emergency services come together with theatre, manipulation, shadow, and object theatre, they create an extrasensory experience.
On Call is a dramatic emergency trip where you must fasten your seat belt!
Invited to present On Call to Chicago, the team works on the adaptation of the show for her next international tour in 2027.
For life to Montreal in October

While she must inevitably pack up, forced to leave the apartment where she has lived so long, Ms. Ellefsen transports the audience on a touching journey through time. In her cute little living room, objects come to life, retracing the woman she was, the things she accomplished in her life, and the love she had for her family. A multitude of ingenious processes and a staging which combines choreography and manipulation paint an intimate portrait of this elderly woman.
A magical, human daily life, both very heartbreaking and very funny.
A touching, sensitive and contemporary piece.
An ode to life, wisdom and women.
Upcoming residencies…
In addition to our many representations who are coming soon, we continue to work hard on a new exciting project who explores the light, different objects and the invention of impossible bodies.
For testing and developing these ideas, the team will be in some residencies through the Quebec.

-October 29th to November 6th 2026 – Fabrique de théâtre insolite to Trois-Rivières
-May 3rd to 10th 2027 – Théâtre aux Écuries
Follow us through the steps of the project!

We concluded our 9th season with joy and happiness!
This year, our tour begins in the schoolyard in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, where we presented 12 representations to the primary school students.
We continued on our way with four others representations to the general public to Joliette, Saguenay, Saint-Sauveur and Carignan.
We finish the season with… (drumroll)…
255 reprsentations at the end!
Thank you for everyone and… see you soon for the 10th season!

A big honor for our general director Vicky Côté!

I am honored that my work is being highlighted. All these years to reach the magic and to make imagination concrete… a lot of doubts and wonderful, puzzles and stress, grace and ecstasy. To do theater, is working together for something bigger than us.
