Blue Dragon (5.0/5)
Robert Lepage
Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre,
Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada
23rd February 2010

An absorbing allegorical tale of Western middle-aged despair and Asian youthful ambition set in and against the growing influence of China. A beautiful slow pace allows every subtle element Lepage’s ingenious storytelling and stagecraft to be appreciated. The newly opened black-box Experimental Theatre is the fitting location for this. SFU is to be applauded for its investment in Vancouver’s contemporary theatre scene.
