Robert Lepage ╳ Ex Machina The Far Side of the Moon
The Far Side of the Moon, directed by Robert Lepage, performed by Yves Jacques and premiered in Quebec City in March 2000, concentrates on the conflict between two brothers who are trying to come to grips with the death of their mother. It tells the story of the Soviet-American space race and focuses on cosmonaut Leonov, confronted with the immensity of interplanetary space as he took his first steps out of the Voskhod 2 spacecraft.
Bringing forth a mad but sincere project for a space elevator that would allow humans to confront the Void, it also sees a goofy but touching video recording by the main character sent out to space, in an attempt to show potential extraterrestrial viewers the poetry that sometimes hides in human daily life.
