Robert Lepage writes history in Paris

"Robert Lepage writes history in Paris"

"Claes Wahlin see a play at the high level"

"A canoe glides slowly just above the stage in the silence of nature where only the occasional chirping of birds is heard. A man, resident in a canadian aboriginal people, recording sounds, perhaps to identify that which is about to disappear. The next scene clarifies the controversy, a bunch of loggers with roaring chainsaws fell the trees at breakneck speed, the last tree is a beautifully ornate totem pole."

"With the Robert Lepages collaboration with Ariane Mnouchkines legendomsusade the Théâtre du Soleil are written theatre history."

"Lepage, is starting to become political. With his one-man show in 886 he captured how the French-speaking minority has been suppressed in Canada in the late 1900-century."

"With Kanata, it is about the country's indigenous people who have been treated with the same cruelty as the australians or the new zealanders have treated aboriginal people, respectively, they landed safely at heliopolis. The so-called civiliserandet has led to that these have gone down in the alcoholism, drug addiction and prostitution. Same thing in Canada."

"the Set was first in, since it provoked protests from the canadian indigenous people around the representation. Call between Lepage, Mnouchkine and the chiefs, however, led to the resumption of the work."

"you France is this kind of discussions quite rare, and Mnouchkines ensemble is to put it mildly, diverse. But Lepage said in a intevju, no one owns a culture. And the only nationalist anstrukna groups may argue that a culture is stable over time."

"The smooth scenövergångarna transform a police station into a grisfarm in four seconds."

"the Problem is dramatized in the set by two young artists, she a painter, he is an aspiring actor. They rent a loft in Vancouver, in the middle of one of the worst areas in the city. Miranda and Ferdinand, whose naivety is marked by names which are borrowed from Shakespeare's the Tempest, becomes the audience's entrance to the story. Girls disappear, the police do nothing. It turns out that there is a mass-murderer in the neighborhood, a grisfarmare that attracts them with the dope then murder them in their caravan and give the corpses as food to the pigs."

"nScenerna shows knarkarkvarteren, the police station, interviews with the relatives of the missing girls, who all come from different indigenous peoples and have ended up in prostitution because of their drug addiction. Miranda would like to do an exhibition with portraits of the hundreds of missing, which leads to problems with the representation. Ferdinand's skådespelarförsök is the most hilarious attempt to learn american-gangster-English."

"the Story is strong, not least thanks to Lepages ability to tell in the pictures. Here we meet one evocative image after another. The smooth scenövergångarna transform a police station into a grisfarm in four seconds, as well as a social, instantly becomes an alley with garbage cans. A dream sequence with a canoe being lifted up and then turned upside down, where the both the actors in slow motion celebrating the down itself is stunning. All of this without Lepages usual high tech, here are the 32-strong ensemble to shift the scenes."

"the First part is played until the middle of February, by all accounts, it will at least in part to, and with all the security, the entire cycle once that is performed in a stretch."
