Intermediality and spectatorship in the theatre work of Robert Lepage: the solo shows

Robert Lepage has imposed himself in the past three decades as a Wunderkind of contemporary theatre, with eagerly awaited and widely acclaimed productions at the most prestigious theatre festivals and venues around the world.

Soon after his international breakthrough with 'The Dragon's Trilogy' (1984), Lepage's work became an object of particular scrutiny for critics and scholars, and continues to be subject to media exposure, inspiring cultural critique, academic study, and the admiration of audiences across the world.

A recurrent fascination with the formal novelty of his theatrical approach imbues most, if not all, critical considerations.

This book explores the notion that intermediality - observed both as a mise-en-scene strategy and a perceptual effect in performance - is situated at the core of the director's approach.
