Coming to SFU at Woodward's in Vancouver, Canada's boundary-breaking theatrical genius returns with another must-see event, February 2010. The Blue Dragon is the sequel to Robert Lepages brilliant The Dragons Trilogy and marks the return of that plays central figure, an artist who re-surfaces in Shanghai 20 years later. Set in the effervescent paradox that is modern China, The Blue Dragon bears all the hallmarks of Lepages original hi-tech wizardry and storytelling magic.

I saw this last night and this has got to be - easily - the greatest performance I've ever had to priveledge of seeing.
The guy is a genius, it's like watching a movie being filmed in one continuous shot with the support of technology to give that illusion. But also how the stage is set up - it's like you dove into a comic and witnessing the story unfold.
Part of me actually wants to turn this into a graphic novel to share with everyone.
