The Andersen Project The Andersen Project Created and directed Robert Lepage performed by Yves Jacques Production Ex Machina The Andersen Project - A Modern Fairy-Tale Having come to Paris at the behest of the Opéra Garnier, which has commissioned him to write the libretto for a children’s opera based on a fairy-tale by Hans Christian Andersen, a Québécois songwriter settles down in a friend’s apartment, rue Saint- Denis. During his stay, he necessarily meets people: one of the Opéra’s senior managers (a man with some odd and unusual likings), a young janitor and graffiti artist of North African descent, as well as a dog who could well be guiding the tale along its way. Freely inspired from two stories by Andersen (The Dryad and The Shadow) and from anecdotes drawn from the famed Danish author’s Parisian travels, the Andersen project calls on some of Lepage’s recurring themes: the confrontation between romanticism and modernism, between recognized and underground art forms, between past and present. However, in this new solo work, he also explores more troubling territories: questions about sexual identity, unfulfilled fantasies and a thirst for recognition and fame that are drawn from Andersen’s life and writings, only to serve as a filigree to the modern tale. Once again, Lepage tells the story of a Québécois whose travels abroad and meetings with Others allow him to find out what defines, motivates and inspires him. Creation 22 February - 26 March 2005: Quebec (Quebec, Canada) Yves Jacques His career led him from his native Quebec City to Montreal, then Paris where he’s been playing since, on stage as well as in movies. Working with French Canadian director Denis Arcand, on 5 films including Decline of the American Empire, Jesus of Montreal and the Barbarian Invasions, along with French director Claude Miller with whom he worked on 7 films including La Chambre des Magiciennes, La petite Lily and Voyez Comme ils Dansent, confirmed his talent, and his renown grew steadily in France and in Quebec. On stage, he has been touring worldwide for almost ten years with two Robert Lepage’s plays, The Far Side of the Moon (from 2001) and The Andersen Project (from 2007) in their French and English versions. His work with Lepage made Luc Bondy, the late © Monic Richard Director of the Odéon Théâtre de l’Europe in Paris, to offer him to play alongside Isabelle Huppert in Marivaux's Les Fausses Confidences (False Acquaintances). A film inspired by the play was also produced for ARTE with the same director and cast. Other directors with whom Yves had the privilege to work include, Xavier Dolan Laurence Anyways, Jean-Paul Rappenneau Belles Familles, Olivier Dahan Grace of Monaco, as well as Martin Scorsese Aviator. Yves Jacques was appointed Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication, in February 2001, and he is an Officer of the Order of Canada since 2009 for his achievements as an actor in theater, television and film, in Canada and abroad. 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. He graduated from the Conservatoire d’art dramatique de Québec and studied in Paris in 1978. In 1984, his play Circulations toured Canada. Followed The Dragons’ Trilogy (1985), Vinci (1986), Polygraph (1987) and Tectonic Plates (1988). © Jocelyn Michel / Consulat ( leconsulat.ca ) From 1989 to 1993 he was Artistic Director of the Théâtre français at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Meanwhile pursuing his own creative projects, he directed Needles and Opium (1991), Coriolanus, Macbeth, and The Tempest (1992). With A Midsummer Night’s Dream in 1992 he became the first North American to direct a Shakespeare play at the Royal National Theatre in London. In 1994, he founded Ex Machina, then wrote and directed his first feature film, Le Confessional. Followed Polygraph (1996), Nô (1997), Possible Worlds (2000), and The Far Side of the Moon (2003). In 2013, he codirects Triptych with Pedro Pires, an adaptation of the play Lipsynch. With Ex Machina, he creates for the stage The Seven Streams of the River Ota (1994), Geometry of Miracles (1998), The Far Side of The Moon (2000), a new version of The Dragons’ Trilogy (2003), The Andersen Project (2005), Lipsynch (2007), The Blue Dragon (2008) and Eonnagata (2009). Current productions include Playing Cards (2012): SPADES, HEARTS, DIAMONDS and CLUBS, each exploring a universe inspired by the asset the suit represents), a new staging of Needles and Opium (2013), and 887, a solo performance by Robert Lepage (2015). Robert Lepage directed Peter Gabriel’s Secret World Tour (1993) and Growing Up Tour (2002), designed and directed Cirque du Soleil shows KÀ (2005) and TOTEM (2010). For Quebec City’s 400th anniversary in 2008, Robert Lepage and Ex Machina created the largest architectural projection ever achieved: The Image Mill. As part of the festivities surrounding the Grand Bibliothèque’s 10th anniversary, Ex Machina has created, based on an original idea by Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, an exhibition inspired by Alberto Manguel’s The Library at Night. Multifaceted, The Library at Night (2015) embarks visitors on a journey through 10 libraries across the world, real or imagined, by means of virtual reality. Robert Lepage made a grand entrance in the opera world with Bluebeard’s Castle and Erwartung (1993). His continued with La Damnation de Faust (1999). Followed 1984 (2005) based on the novel by George Orwell, with Maestro Lorin Maazel providing the musical direction, The Rake’s Progress (2007) and The Nightingale and Other short Fables (2009). Das Rheingold, Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen prelude, premiered September 2010 at The Metropolitan Opera with the cycle being presented during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons. His latest staging include The Tempest (2012), by Thomas Adès, libretto by Meredith Oakes, based on William Shakespeare’s eponymous play, and L'Amour de loin (2015), with music by Kaija Saariaho and a libretto by Amin Maalouf. Robert Lepage’s work has been recognized by many awards. Among the most important:the Légion d’honneur (2002); the Denise Pelletier Prize (2003); the Hans Christian Andersen Prize (2004) for his outstanding artistic contribution to honouring Hans Christian Andersen worldwide; the Stanislavski Award (2005) for his contribution to international theatre; the Festival de l’Union des Théâtres de l’Europe honoured him with the distinguished Prix Europe (2007), previously awarded to Ariane Mnouchkine and Bob Wilson among others; the Médaille de la ville de Québec (2011); and the Eugene McDermott Award in the Arts at MIT (2012). In 2013, he became the recipient of the Tenth Glenn Gould Prize awarded by the Glenn Gould Foundation.

    1. Class Title 1 (Simon Keenlyside) 2. Waterhouse: Miranda (1916, private collection) The Tempest (1611) is the last play which Shakespeare wrote alone. It has been described as the most musical of his works, on account of the number of songs in the text, the interpolated masque in the last act, and because it works less through cause and effect than through enchantment, an intrinsically musical quality. It is the only play for which we have any of the original stage music. And according to Wikipedia, it has inspired over four dozen operatic or musical settings. As early as the mid-seventeenth century, managements were adapting the play as a kind of masque, rather than performing the original. 3. Ariel’s Tempest in Columbia I’m also somewhat familiar with it myself. I directed the first performance of The Tempest by American composer Lee Hoiby in the late 1980s, and wrote my own adaptation in 2011 for composer Douglas Allan Buchanan, a 60-minute condensation that we toured to young audiences all over Maryland. 4. Round table discussion at the Met But the version we are watching today is the work of the two people in the middle of this picture: composer/conductor Thomas Adès (b.1971) and the Australian playwright Meredith Oakes (b.1946), seen here with Met General Manager Peter Gelb and stage director Robert Lepage. The picture comes from an intermission feature in the Met’s 2012 Live-in-HD transmission of the opera; I thought of playing it, but it is hard to hear and rather light on information.

  • 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).

    List of films considered the best From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Films considered the greatest ever) Page semi-protected This list needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be chall enged and removed. (November 2008) While there is no general agreement upon the greatest film, many publications an d organizations have tried to determine the films considered the best. Each film listed here has been mentioned in a notable survey, whether a popular poll, or a poll among film reviewers. Many of these sources focus on American films or we re polls of English-speaking film-goers, but those considered the greatest withi n their respective countries are also included here. Many films are widely consi dered among the best ever made, whether they appear at number one on each list o r not. For example, many believe that Orson Welles' Citizen Kane is the best mov ie ever made, and it appears as #1 on AFI's Best Movies list, whereas The Shawsh ank Redemption is #1 on the IMDB Top 250, whilst Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is #1 on the Empire magazine's Top 301 List. None of the surveys that produced these citations should be viewed as a scientif ic measure of the film-watching world. Each may suffer the effects of vote stack ing or skewed demographics. Internet-based surveys have a self-selected audience of unknown participants. The methodology of some surveys may be questionable. S ometimes (as in the case of the American Film Institute) voters were asked to se lect films from a limited list of entries.
