Robert Lepage - The Far Side of the Moon
Two faces, two brothers, two other brothers — enemies — and two countries trying to take over the moon. The free association of ideas characteristic of Robert Lepage’s theatrical creations is expressed here through confrontation. Between the visible and the invisible, the spoken and the unspoken, the terrestrial and the sidereal, Lepage creates a space elevator, a journey to the infinite, a terrestrial poem recited to potential extra-terrestrials. The Far Side of the Moon has already completed several revolutions of the Earth. The Canada Council’s Millennium Arts Fund helped to get this project off the ground and the production has picked up numerous theatrical awards along the way.
