The Librarian

08 Oct 2025 - Capitol Theatre

Presented by WIN Network

A Le Gros Orteil Production

A Bookish Circus Adventure

At first glance, Paul-Émile Dumoulin seems like just a regular librarian. He is serious, proud and very orderly. Every book is in its place on his impeccable shelves. The only problem? As soon as Paul-Émile gets his nose in a book, reality disappears, giving way to the slightly crazy worlds he discovers between the pages. On his adventures, the very sensible librarian metamorphoses. He suddenly turns into strange and silly characters who perform acrobatics, balancing, juggling, break dancing and beatboxing. Just how far will reading take him?

“This comical and dynamic librarian has everything to make you laugh” – Tohu.ca
