Details
Robert Lepage is probably the greatest theatrical visionary in the world today and this legendary production, first seen in the UK in 1987, and then again in 1991, is the masterpiece that established his reputation. Spanning seventy-five years, seven time zones, six hours and three intermissions, this epic performance conjures up an Orient invented in the minds of two young girls. Characters emerge, vanish and reappear like an extended network of roads and rail tracks - their stories played out through the symbolism and colour of the dragons in a game of Mah Jong. Performed in Cantonese, English, French and Mandarin with English Surtitles. Running time approximately 5 hrs 30 mins including intervals.
