Robert Lepage is one of Canada’s foremost playwrights and directors. His company, Ex Machina, has toured to international acclaim and he has lent his talents to areas as diverse as opera, concert tours, acting, and installation art. His most celebrated work blends acute personal narratives with bold global themes.
This is the first book to combine:
an overview of the key phases in Lepage’s life and career
an examination of the issues and questions pertinent to his work
a discussion of The Dragons’ Trilogy as a paradigm of his working methods
a variety of practical exercises designed to give an insight into Lepage’s creative process.
As a first step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners are unbeatable value for today’s student.

The book examines Lepage's creative methods of filmmaking in their cultural and social context and argues that his work cannot be seen separately from his oeuvre as a multidisciplinary artist. Further, this study demonstrates that like Jean Cocteau, Mike Leigh, and Alain Resnais, Lepage is a multifaceted artist who works with a group of actors on very personal themes, building his films, such as Le Confessionnal and Possible Worlds, during months or years of a perpetual rehearsal process; thus it challenges the notions that Lepage should be considered only in the terms of Quebecois film tradition. The author explores such themes with Lepage in a new exclusive and detailed interview.

It also explores how changes in the social context politicize reception of the performance. The article analyses
the use of multimedia in two of Robert Lepage’s productions – Romeo and Juliette in Saskatchewan (1989) and Zulu Time (1999). Although Romeo and Juliette in Saskatchewan was a text-based production and Zulu Time a devised performance, and there is gap of more than ten years between the two productions, they share a similar use of creative vocabulary taken from different media.
This paper explores ways in which these productions borrow and incorporate the language of other media-film, robotics and digital art – within their own performance mise-en-scene to create a techno-en-scene.
