Description

Robert Lepage and Ex Machina's work is marked by its inter-disciplinary and inter-cultural approach, resulting in innovative and hybrid theatrical practices. This book offers a fresh perspective on these artistic innovations, arguing that they can be seen as positive cultural principles. Through case studies of process and in-depth interviews with key figures, James Reynolds explores the underlying social, cultural, and political differences that drive Ex Machina's practice. The author reveals how this approach creates performances built around contradiction, allowing audiences to engage with difference in its various forms. By re-examining the critical discourse surrounding Ex Machina's work, Reynolds sheds new light on its contribution to drama and theatre, while also assessing the critical ideas it has initiated through performance.
