Since graduating from de CADQ in 1998, Éva Daigle has been very active in the professional theatre world, whether it be in Montréal, Quebec city, on tour around the province or in Europe.
We trust her to perform roles ranked among the greatest and most complex within the theatrical register: Tamara in L'Orangeraie; Marie-Lou, Albertine and Pierrette in many plays by Michel Tremblay; Renée in Madame de Sade; the Infante in Le Cid; the Fiancée in Noces de sang; Chimène in Le Cid maghané…
She also acts in film, and on television. Namely for District 31, Unité 9, Chasse-Galerie, Complexe G and Ruptures.
Her practice brought her to work with many important play directors: Alexandre Fecteau, Claude Poissant, Lorraine Pintal, Martine Beaulne, Jean-Pierre Ronfard, Martin Faucher, Gill Champagne, Frédéric Dubois, Louise Laprade, Martin Genest, Philippe Soldevila… in works by many different writers: Larry Tremblay, Yukio Mishima, Claude Gauvreau, Milan Kundera, Eugène Ionesco, Alessandro Baricco, Plaute, Loup Bleu, Raymond Queneau… She is also part of numerous original creations: (Fanny Britt, Isabelle Hubert, Mercè Sarrias, Francis Monty, and others).
On the Montreal scene, we have notably seen her in, L’Orangeraie (Th. Denise-Pelletier, 2016, production which took place in summer 2018), Albertine, en cinq temps (TNM, 2014), Couche avec moi (C'est l'hiver) (Espace Go, 2006), À quelle heure on meurt?

She was also part of other audacious artistic endeavours such as the transatlantic Québec-Barcelona, (co-production of Théâtre Sortie de Secours and Sala Beckett, presented in Québec and in Barcelona, autumn 2012) and the eclectic cabaret Show d'Vaches au Bitch Club Paradise (Théâtre Périscope, 2005-2007).
Some of her roles have been celebrated, like her performance of Catherine Tayet in L'Asile de la pureté (directed by Martin Faucher, 2009) for which she won the Janine-Angers prize, or the Infante in Le Cid (directed by Gervais Gaudreault, 2004) which earned her a Paul-Hébert prize nomination.
