The Far Side Of The Moon

This epic solo production tells the story of Philippe, a man coping with the recent loss of his mother, the estrangement of his younger brother André and the mysterious teachings of the universe.

Looking to the stars, time and place are secondary to Philippe’s search for meaning in the universe and his place in it.

The competition between the Soviets and Americans during the space race, the SETI programme (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) and childhood memories act as touchstones for this one-man show dealing with the fundamental question, 'Are we alone?'.

Performed by Yves Jacques and punctuated by Laurie Anderson’s otherworldly score, The Far Side of the Moon takes the audience to other worlds on the steady wings of Robert Lepage’s theatrical magic.
