La Trilogie des dragons
[Theatre]
“What does the Chinese launderer of the Saint Roch neighborhood dream about?” Nearly twenty years after it opened to critical acclaim, Canadian director Robert Lepage revives his six-hour “dragon” trilogy about an imaginary China seen through the eyes of two young girls growing up on the fringes of Quebec’s Chinatown in the 1930s. The saga spans a century, from 1910 to the present, tracing “a long migratory waltz...right up to the gates of the Orient.”
