Robert Lepage superbly performs in this sequel to his 1985 breakthrough masterpiece The Dragons' Trilogy , marking the return of that play's central figure -- artist Pierre Lamontagne -- who resurfaces in Shanghai 20 years later.
Set in the effervescent paradox that is modern China, this new instalment focuses on Lamontagne's encounters with a former student classmate and a young Chinese conceptual artist. As the lives of these individuals collide, unexpected doors open, bringing about fundamental changes for each of them.
A master of theatrical magic and leading theatre maker, Lepage is a regular figure in the Barbican programme, previously presenting shows including the far side of the moon , The Andersen Project and Lipsynch.
