Lipsynch, Robert Lepage

Maybe because some lukewarm reviews had lowered my expectations, I thoroughly enjoyed this nearly 9-hour marathon performance. Interweaving narratives of nine characters across nine acts, the play becomes a powerful denunciation of sexual abuse, whether in the form of incest or the international sexual slave trade. It achieves this by exploring the power and limitations of language and the spoken word, often using visual effects to underscore the constructed nature of our reality.

Highly recommend.
