EX MACHINA
ROBERT LEPAGE
AUSTRALIAN EXCLUSIVE
887
One of the world’s greatest theatremakers
turns his eye to the most difficult subject
of all: himself.
Theatre is the “grand sport of remembering,”
says Robert Lepage. This dazzling investigation
of memory—how it makes and unmakes
us—transports us into the echoing chambers
of his own recollected past. Beginning in his
childhood home at 887 Avenue Murray in
Quebec City and ricocheting across decades,
Lepage’s own tale proves inseparable from
the dramatic events of the half century in
which it plays out.
Universally acclaimed for the scale of
his theatrical imagination—and on stage
in Melbourne for the first time—Lepage
proves once again a master of the grand
image, while channeling his most intensely
personal story yet.
