Lipsynch

Lipsynch (4.5/5)

Ex Machina/Théâtre Sans Frontières

(Director: Robert Lepage)
Theatre Royal, Sydney

17th January 2009

Wow. Awesome. An epic episodic production of nine acts in eight hours. Nine acts, each tells an individual’s story, each is intimately and tangentially linked. Although largely one paced there are so many layers, so many intricacies, to hold one’s curiosity. The language, languages and soundtrack, the lighting and projections, the simple yet highly versatile set, combine to create a truly special theatre experience. Thought-provoking, how language is so central to our being.
