Whether on stage or on screen, we’ve integrated pioneers, legends, films and family programming to bring you the best in world-class performance. In Ameriville, Universes put the state of the union under the microscope and into the microphone as they examine our country through the lens of Hurricane Katrina and her aftermath. What I find so compelling about this dynamic quartet is their fusion of hip hop, poetry, flamenco, stand up, jazz, gospel and storytelling. Their performance chops are formidable—the exquisite harmonies and precise choreography are at the top of the form. I hope you’ll also attend one of the film screenings in the Portraits of New Orleans series running this month in the Bright Family Screening Room. Next we present The Andersen Project, a multimedia masterpiece created by one of the most celebrated directors today—Robert Lepage. With work exploding all over the world (his historic Ring cycle is at the Metropolitan Opera this spring), we’re delighted to have a production by this major theatre artist in Boston. While Yves Jacques performs this incredible visual feat in the Cutler Majestic Theatre, Tomáš Kubínek: Certified Lunatic & Master of the Impossible will appeal to all ages on the Paramount Center Mainstage. It’s important to us at ArtsEmerson to bring performances that the whole family can enjoy, and with his comic quirks, Mr. Kubínek is sure to impress young and old alike. Finally, I want to echo President Pelton’s excitement about the arrival of The Center for the Theater Commons (“The Commons”) this summer. As a center for research into the processes, challenges, opportunities, and best practices for developing theatrical work, I look forward to the impact The Commons will have on Boston’s artistic community and beyond. Rob Orchard, Executive Director P.S. Our philanthropic base is key to our sustainability, and we are pleased to watch it begin to grow. The variety and uniqueness of this kind of programming needs your support, and I hope you’ll consider making a donation. Thank you. 6 Envisioning ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage evolved from three founding objectives: ì to generate new work ì to bring international artists to Boston ì to add to the cultural choices of the community The facilities of the Paramount Center and the Cutler Majestic Theatre, nestled within a college of arts and communications and a thriving, culturally active city, are fantastic resources for artists and ensembles. These venues are programmed by ArtsEmerson with work from this country and around the world that would otherwise never be seen in Boston. ArtsEmerson also fosters the creation of new work by developing multi-year partnerships with a revolving roster of artists and institutions, giving Bostonians the opportunity to witness the artists’ growth over multiple years and building long-term, meaningful relationships between performers and audiences. Our programs include: THEATRE: LEGENDS: Established, highly regarded institutions and artists whose work is celebrated around the world, and PIONEERS: A new generation of acclaimed artists whose ideas are redefining the performing arts and pointing to the future. FILM: Weekends in the Bright Family Screening room feature films for every cinema fan: from family and children’s matinees to independent, repertory and foreign films. MUSIC: ArtsEmerson’s music programming complements the theatre offerings and connects with the tastes and sensibilities of a diverse audience. FAMILY: As part of ArtsEmerson’s commitment to including works that appeal to all ages, we have theatre productions and weekly films that will engage the whole family— young and old alike. EXTRAS: ArtsEmerson hosts a variety of ancillary events designed to enhance the experience of attending performances and screenings. ROB ORCHARD, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR In October 2009, theatre producer and educator Rob Orchard became Emerson College’s first Executive Director for the Arts and Stephen G. Langley Chair in Theater Management and Production. Orchard was Managing Director of the Yale Repertory Theatre and School of Drama, where he also served as associate professor and co-chair of the MFA Theatre Administration Program. Following his time at Yale, Orchard was the Founding Managing Director of the American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) and subsequently Executive Director, and was the architect for the A.R.T. training Institute and its relationship with the Moscow Art Theatre School, as well as Director of the Loeb Drama Center at Harvard. At the A.R.T. he produced more than 200 works, including premieres by Nobel prize winners Dario Fo and Derek Walcott; composers Philip Glass, David Byrne, Liz Swados and Galt MacDermot; playwrights Robert Brustein, Marsha Norman, Christopher Durang, Milan Kundera, Susan Sontag, Charles Mee, David Mamet, Anna Deavere Smith, David Rabe, Paula Vogel, Sam Shepard and Lisa Kron, among others. He has also worked with many of the world’s most respected directors, among them: Andrei Serban, Robert Brustein, Peter Sellars, Joanne Akalaitis, Robert Wilson, Richard Foreman, Anne Bogart, Robert Woodruff, Janos Szasz, Andrzej Wajda and Martha Clarke. Orchard has served as chairman of both the Theatre and the Opera/Musical Theatre Panels at the National Endowment for the Arts, on the Board and Executive Committee of the American Arts Alliance, the national advocacy association for the performing and visual arts, and as a trustee of Theatre Communications Group (TCG). In addition, he has served on the Board of the Cambridge Multi-Cultural Arts Center and as President of the Massachusetts Cultural Education Collaborative. In 2000, Orchard received the Elliot Norton Award for Sustained Excellence. He is currently on the Board of the Boston Arts Academy. 7 PRESENTS The Andersen Project WRITTEN & DIRECTED BY ROBERT LEPAGE PERFORMED BY YVES JACQUES SCRIPT COLLABORATORS: PEDER BJURMAN, MARIE GIGNAC ASSISTANT DIRECTOR AND STAGE MANAGER: FÉLIX DAGENAIS ASSOCIATE SET DESIGNER: JEAN LE BOURDAIS ASSOCIATE LIGHTING DESIGNER: NICOLAS MAROIS SOUND DESIGNER: JEAN-SÉBASTIEN CÔTÉ COSTUME DESIGNER: CATHERINE HIGGINS PROPERTIES: MARIE-FRANCE LARIVIÈRE PUPPETEER: JEAN-NICOLAS MARQUIS IMAGES PRODUCED BY: JACQUES COLLIN, VÉRONIQUE COUTURIER, DAVID LECLERC WIG MASTER: RICHARD HANSEN ROBERT LEPAGE'S AGENT: LYNDA BEAULIEU PRODUCTION MANAGER: LOUISE ROUSSEL PRODUCTION MANAGER (TOURING): MARIE-PIERRE GAGNÉ TOUR MANAGER: ISABELLE LAPOINTE TECHNICAL DIRECTOR: SERGE CÔTÉ TECHNICAL DIRECTOR (TOURING): SIMON CLOUTIER LIGHTING MANAGER: FÉLIX BERNIER GUIMOND SOUND MANAGER: CAROLINE TURCOT VIDEO MANAGER: NICOLAS DOSTIE WARDROBE AND PROP MANAGER: ISABEL POULIN HEAD STAGEHAND: CATHERINE GUAY AMERICAN EQUITY STAGE MANAGER: CAROLINE DUFRESNE TECHNICAL CONSULTANT: TOBIE HORSWILL COLLABORATION TO THE IMPROVISATIONAL AND CREATIVE PROCESS: NORMAND POIRIER MAKE-UP: NATHALIE GAGNÉ ASSISTANT TO THE COSTUME DESIGNER: JENNIFER TREMBLAY COSTUMES CUTTER: NICOLE FORTIN SEAMSTRESS: HÉLÈNE RUEL SET BUILDING LES CONCEPTIONS VISUELLES: JEAN-MARC CYR HORSE’S CART MAKER: MARTIN BEAUSOLEIL SCULPTURE MAKER (“FEMME PIQUÉE PAR UN SERPENT”): PATRICK BINETTE LIGHTING DESIGNER’S TRAINEE (CREATION): JENNIFER JIMENEZ (THEATRE ONTARIO'S PROFESSIONAL THEATRE TRAINING PROGRAM) AUDIOGUIDE VOICE: ULLA HENNINGSEN Ex Machina is appearing with the permission of Actors’ Equity Association.

  • Robert Lepage's Scenographic Dramaturgy: the Aesthetic Signature at Work
    1 Robert Lepage’s Scenographic Dramaturgy: The Aesthetic Signature at Work Melissa Poll Abstract Heir to the écriture scénique introduced by theatre’s modern movement, director Robert Lepage’s scenography is his entry point when re-envisioning an extant text. Due to widespread interest in the Québécois auteur’s devised offerings, however, Lepage’s highly visual interpretations of canonical works remain largely neglected in current scholarship. My paper seeks to address this gap, theorizing Lepage’s approach as a three-pronged ‘scenographic dramaturgy’, composed of historical-spatial mapping, metamorphous space and kinetic bodies. By referencing a range of Lepage’s extant text productions and aligning elements of his work to historical and contemporary models of scenography-driven performance, this project will detail how the three components of Lepage’s scenographic dramaturgy ‘write’ meaning-making performance texts. Historical-Spatial Mapping as the foundation for Lepage’s Scenographic Dramaturgy In itself, Lepage’s reliance on evocative scenography is inline with the aesthetics of various theatre-makers. Examples range from Appia and Craig’s early experiments summoning atmosphere through lighting and minimalist sets to Penny Woolcock’s English National Opera production of John Adams’s Dr. Atomic1 which uses digital projections and film clips to revisit the circumstances leading up to Little Boy’s release on Hiroshima in 1945. Other artists known for a signature visual approach to locating narrative include Simon McBurney, who incorporates digital projections to present Moscow via a Google Maps perspective in Complicité’s The Master and Margarita and auteur Benedict Andrews, whose recent production of Three Sisters sees Chekhov’s heroines stranded on a mound of dirt at the play’s conclusion, an apt metaphor for their dreary futures in provincial Russia.

  • The Far Side of the Moon Credits and Biographies
    The Far Side of the Moon credits and biographies by Robert Lepage based on an original idea by Peder Bjurman written in collaboration with Adam Nashman produced by Ex Machina Ex Machina In 1994, when Robert Lepage asked his collaborators to help find a name for his new company, he had one condition: the word theatre could not be part of the name. Ex Machina is thus a multidisciplinary company bringing together actors, writers, set designers, technicians, opera singers, puppeteers, computer graphic designers, video artists, contortionists and musicians. Ex Machina’s creative team believes that the performing arts - dance, opera, music - should be mixed with recorded arts - filmmaking, video art and multimedia. That there must be meetings between scientists and playwrights, between set painters and architects, and between artists from Québec and the rest of the world. New artistic forms will surely emerge from these gatherings. Ex Machina wants to rise to the challenge and become a laboratory, an incubator for a form of theatre that will reach and touch audiences from this new millennium. Robert Lepage Versatile in every form of theatre craft, Robert Lepage is equally talented as a director, playwright, actor and film director. His creative and original approach to theatre has won him international acclaim and shaken the dogma of classical stage direction to its foundations, especially through his use of new technologies. Among his most noticed work for the stage: Dragons’ Trilogy (1985), Needles and Opium (1991), The Far Side of The Moon (2000), The Andersen Project (2005), Lipsynch (2007), his solo performance 887 (2015) and his most recent production Quills (2016); his multimedia creations: The Image Mill (2008) and The Library at Night (2015); at the opera: The Damnation of Faust (1999), The Nightingale and Other short Fables (2009), Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen (2010) and L'Amour de loin (2015).
