The Andersen Project
T01109709605
In what has become a hallmark of his dazzling solo projects, Lepage weaves the story of a Quebecois artist whose travels and chance encounters take him on a voyage of understanding and self-discovery. In this new work, Lepage assumes the role of a distracted young writer, in Paris at the invitation of the Opera Garnier, commissioned to create the libretto for a children's opera based on a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale.
The Andersen Project is freely inspired by two of Andersen's timeless fables (
The Dryad and
The Shadow) and draws from the Danish author's visit to France during the Paris World's Fair.
