| Zusammenfassung: | "Robert Lepage is recognized as a world leader in the production of innovative theatre for a global community. This study considers Lepage's encounter with a more immediate significant other, namely English Canada, and contends that while the triumph and popularity of Lepage's theatre is very much global, the artist's relationship with the "Rest of Canada" remains a central component of the identity question consistently addressed throughout his work. The book shows how Lepage was formed by, and in conversation with, Toronto. While this approach by no means contradicts the emphasis on globalisation, and indeed, adds another port of call, it brings to the fore a fundamental relationship critical to a fuller understanding of his work. His relationship with English Canada shaped his work initially and his reception in Toronto served as feedback loop influencing his productions. Rather than responding solely to the global themes in his work, this audience saw aspects of its own identity reflected in his theatre. Lepage 'staged' and developed Toronto's understanding of intercultural and transnational theatre. Robert Lepage on the Toronto Stage analyzes the playwright's importance on the Canadian and international theatre scene and in the landscape of political, cultural, and linguistic identity. Toronto's embrace of Lepage, whose oeuvre steps beyond a narrowly defined concept of national theatre, also allowed the city to redefine its importance and aspirations on the international theatre scene."-- |
