Our mission
Making live art accessible to everyone, everywhere.
Since 2015, La Fille Du Laitier has been captivating audiences with bold and accessible theatrical works. Born in Montreal from an idea as wild as it is folkloric—to transform a truck into a mobile performance venue—the company quickly won over audiences with its concept of theatre delivery straight to people’s doorsteps. By occupying outdoor spaces, it seeks to democratize theatre and make it accessible to as many people as possible, inviting audiences to discover vibrant and original creations. Today, La Fille Du Laitier shines both in public spaces and in theatres, across Quebec and on international stages.
Driven by an offbeat perspective, La Fille Du Laitier fully embraces the right to madness and celebrates the freedom of imagination through a physical, choreographic theatre where objects and absurdity intertwine to create unique narratives.
With over 600 performances in Canada and abroad, La Fille Du Laitier continues its mission to make live theatre accessible. By surprising audiences and demystifying the performing arts, it invites everyone to rediscover theatre through a playful and original lens. The company aims to be a gateway to the performing arts—a spark that awakens curiosity and cultivates a love of theatre, whether in the street or in a venue.
Mobile stages
Theatre that comes to you
La Fille Du Laitier’s mobile stages—its theatre delivery truck and stage trailer—transform everyday spaces into true performance venues. In just a few minutes, they unfold to create a theatre where it’s least expected: in a public square, an alleyway, a park or a parking lot. These nomadic structures break down barriers and make live performance accessible to all, everywhere, by bringing theatre into the heart of everyday life.
Performed more than 350 times outdoors, Caisse 606 immerses audiences in a whimsical grocery store where two cashiers, trapped in a routine they know inside out, dream of escape in a world where carrots dance and soy sauce falls hopelessly in love.
Stage productions
Live art in all its forms
The company creates and presents productions for traditional theatre venues — shows that tour across Quebec, Canada, and beyond.
From Macbeth Muet, celebrated worldwide, to new works currently in development: every production bears the signature of La Fille Du Laitier — daring, accessible, and deeply human.
