Summary/Abstract: Robert Lepage is equally talented as a director, playwright, actor, and film director. He is the founder and art director of the multidisciplinary production company, Ex Machina, inviting actors from across the world to his projects. His creative and original approach to theatre has won him international acclaim and a number of awards. Identity underlies the work of the Canadian director, who believes that a play would show itself in the process of work and searches unseen relations and similarities, using personal and collective memories and playing with them, relying on one’s intuition and free associations as a source of ideas. His characters are in special emotional states, interacting with external influences, trying to understand self in the past and the present in situations of grief, loss, doubt, anxiety, loneliness. In his Lipsynch, unfolding in nine hours, Lepage focuses on human voice as a select locus of identity.
