Encore Une Fois, Si Vous Permettez Tickets

Encore Une Fois, Si Vous Permettez is a celebrated performer linked to Michel Tremblay’s intimate autobiographical theatre. Rooted in Tremblay’s dramatic canon, this piece originated as a French-language drama first staged in 1998 at Theatre du Rideau Vert in Montreal. The work presents five tableaux spanning Tremblay’s youth and Nana’s storytelling, offering a vivid portrait of Tremblay and his mother Nana. A masterful bridge between French-Canadian theatre and English-language adaptation, this performer-driven show continues to captivate audiences across Canada and the United States.

In English, the adaptation titled For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again, translated by Linda Gaboriau, has toured extensively and was revived in Montreal in 2025. The Montreal engagement at Centaur Theatre (May 13–June 1, 2025) featured Ellen David as Nana and Emmanuel Schwartz as Narrator, under the direction of Alice Ronfard. Tremblay’s body of work has earned prestigious accolades, including the Governor General’s Award (1999), a Dora Mavor Moore Award, and a Chalmers Award, underscoring its lasting impact on North American theatre.
