Review: (Montreal) Pique

A Beautiful Empty Box
 by Chad Dembski

Robert Lepage is probably one of the best known theatre artists from Quebec both in Montreal, Canada and the world for his gigantic productions for Cirque du Soleil, Metropolitan Opera and, of course, his own company Ex Machina.  I have been watching his productions since the early 1990’s (the first being Seven Streams of the River Ota) and he used to be a hero of mine. I have been able to see less and less of his shows over the years as he has become one of the top in-demand directors in the world.
