I was kidding obviously.You still haven't told me if you've heard of this:
The Far Side of the Moon
Robert Lepage/Ex Machina (2000)
Drawing on his obsession with geography, self-discovery and technology, Robert Lepage's latest solo performance explores an inner voyage to outer space.
'A simple, resonating idea staged with such beauty that the result - sensual, emotional and intellectual - is breathtaking'
The Australian
'The combination of artfully written and performed monologues and dazzling visual counterpoint, presented in conjunction with a hauntingly plaintive recorded score by Laurie Anderson, succeeds beautifully... a remarkable production'
Los Angeles Times
'Wryly observant, poetic and visually stunning. Lepage again reveals himself to be a master illusionist of the stage... a wondrous production'
Sydney Morning Herald
