	The Far Side of the Moon - Robert Lepage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		As Lepage mischievously remarks in the opening scenes, the American predilection to refer to the dark side of the moon as ‘disfigured’ may have as much to do with the fact that the craters which mark its surface are all named after great Russian artists and scientists.
		Lepage takes a relatively simple set of reference points and constructs an insightful and moving drama around them, and though the metaphoric linkages between them are far from subtle, they work.
		The finale in particular, in which the actor does a virtual space walk with the aid of a mirrored ceiling at an acute angle and furniture resting on the floor, is a sublime fusion of performance, direction and set design.

		Philippe (Lepage), the elder, is still living the life of a poor university student; he's about to defend his thesis, which dissects the narcissistic impulse behind the U.S.-Soviet space race, for the second time and has a dead-end job selling newspaper subscriptions by phone.
		Lepage is fascinated by the mythology of space, especially the notion that people once believed the moon was a great silvery mirror that reflected the topography of the Earth.
		Lepage maintains a leisurely pace and lets the narrative wander, but ultimately lands on the right side of the line between contemplative noodling and aimless navel-gazing, ending with an image that's simultaneously melancholy and playful.

	Robert Lepage, Connecting Flights. Translated by Wanda Romer Taylor by Marta Dvorak (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Lepage reinjects the notion of play back into play-acting, connects it with competitive sport and its superb trained bodies that transcend and transfigure.
		Lepage's productions desacralize language partly by emphasizing its dimension of pure sound, at times foregrounded technologically by a sampler that filters and `recognizes' the different phonemes and associates a specific pitch for each, thus emitting musical sounds that vary from one performance to another, and from one linguistic version to another.
		Although Lepage's interculturalism is often resented, the director argues that it is a political as well as an artistic statement.

	classical music - andante - the remarkable robert lepage stages la damnation de faust
		French Canadian theater director/filmmaker Robert Lepage has been less in evidence in the new century than in the old, when he created epic-length theater pieces such as The Seven Streams of the River Ota and films like the cinematic masterpiece Le Confessional.
		Lepage is a near-ideal director to confront the staging problems such digressions present, given his way of weaving together disparate, fragmented narratives in his own works.
		As if to symbolize Faust's complete immersion in the world of Mephistopheles, Lepage put the two of them in a row boat which the devil turned on its side, dumping Faust into the water (with all sorts of artificially generated allusions to liquid) as a sort of anti-baptism into a hedonistic world.

		Robert Lepage doesn't have a high profile outside his native Quebec or the theatre world.
		Lepage has acted onstage and for other filmmakers (memorably in Jesus of Montreal), but this is the first time he's performed in his own film, and he pulls off a brother act that's even more compelling than Nicolas Cage's in Adaptation.
		As Lepage explains in an interview in September at the Toronto International Film Festival, he didn't just wake up one day and decide to be a megalomaniac, but he wasn't keen on doing The Far Side of the Moon unless he could play both roles.

	FABULOUS REVIEW: GEOMETRY OF MIRACLES by Robert Lepage
		Canadian Lepage's name popped up again last year when my friend who was then living in London mentioned "The Seven Streams of the River Ota", a brilliant multimedia stage work that played on two consecutive nights for a complete show.
		Unlike other regular playwrights, Lepage works his pieces as a collaborative process with his performers, and as such gives due credit to all of them as co-creators of the work; GEOMETRY OF MIRACLES is no different.
		Lepage has been honoured many times over for his vision and creative talent, and he deserves every one of them.

		Robert Lepage, famous Canadian, avant-gardist and self-termed artsy-fartsy director, seems mildly offended.
		Lepage, liberated by the budget, conjures up some of his most beautiful transformations: figures plunging deep into the ocean, a violent, edge-of-the-seat shipwreck, an animal-skin tent that becomes a flying machine lazily skimming over the audience.
		For Lepage, renowned for his ability to meddle at the last minute and to change the entire course of a production in a twinkling of his eye, the scale of the Cirque operation, with its headquarters far away in Canada, can be a strain.

	Canadian Journal of Film Studies: CINEMA OF ROBERT LEPAGE: THE POETICS OF MEMORY, THE
		In the growing body of scholarship on Robert Lepage's theatre, a dominant critical paradigm has emerged to describe the global/local interfaces at work in the subject matter of his plays, and in the methods of their production and reception.
		In The Cinema of Robert Lepage: The Poetics of Memory, part of the Directors' Cuts series put out by London's Wallflower Press, and the first booklength study of Lepage as filmmaker, Dundjerovic attempts to synthesize these strands of interculturalism, time, and space, and the "new aufeurism'Operating in Lepage's films.
		However, the book's most compelling claim is that Lepage's entire cinematic method is essentially based on a collaborative creative and performance process -the RSVP Cycles-developed by San Francisco choreographer Ann Halprin in the 1960s and imported to Quebec theatre by Jacques Lessard, under whom Lepage worked while a member of Theatre Repere in the 1980s.
