Robert Lepage, Le Moulin à paroles, 2009

She runs, she runs ... not the disease of love, but the new launched on World : Robert Lepage passed Wagner in the digital age. Yep! The Quebec director prepares a "tetralogy" of high technology Metropolitan Opera in New York . Indeed, the first of Rheingold, the prologue of the cycle, will be held Sept. 27, while The Valkyrie will be given in April-May 2011 and the last two parts (Siegfried and The Gotterdammerung ) during the following season. Robert Lepage, one suspects failing to know, not a novice in this field. It is renowned for high-tech multimedia and language of his shows. But it works for the theater or opera, the singer Peter Gabriel the troupe Cirque du Soleil , the director and creator-notch, has credo

He wants ... "Telling stories with the language of modernity."

But ... "We must never forget that the origin of theater is a story around a campfire,

and the discovery of shadow on the walls of a cave.

is as simple and as beautiful as that. "

Robert Lepage has created and honed his device in the premises of his company, Ex Machina , installed in Quebec City, before transferring to New York rehearsals with liners and stuntmen. It states that ...

"Some singers themselves will waterfalls.

But there will be acrobats, so this,

hopefully contribute to the abounding mystery of the show. "

What will be the place of acting in this impressive machinery high tech? Renaud request of Machar World .

"Everything will be technically resolved before the arrival of the singers.

But their corporeality, their musicianship will live poetically these processes.

I will not engage in themselves, far from it, but I want to be surprised and let express

decisive part of this incarnation of invention "

" Research in Computer Science have developed a visual equivalent to the transformation of its real-time practice as research laboratories musical. Now, the machines allow us to unleash an element of chance, of spontaneous invention. Thus, movements, silence and sound density singers, who never quite similar from one representation to another, they affect Live images projected ... "

" The living remains the main engine of electronic game ... "

This Ring is a very serious matter, in every sense of the term for this festival about fifteen hours of music, Lepage has created a scenic structure that required the Met strengthens in extremis part of its shelf to accommodate the enormous machinery that controls it through a forest of computers, writing Renaud Machar. Never mind the Met has not skimped, it has granted an extension 'budget to cover additional costs for the installation of machinery (dear, dear).

Tetralogy This will only setting a device of very high technology consisting of lath, it may at the discretion of the staging, turning into various architectures (wall, stairs, incline, forest , spin, flying carpet, etc..) on which the characters exist in an unreal way. The "skin" of the monster in constant metamorphosis is "tattooed" by electronic light projections.

"The preparation and automation have given a lot of trouble with my staff"

But ... "There is no question of making a technological matter, but poetic."

"This new production is one of the most ambitious ever known home. I am confident of its success and that is the epitome of theatrical invention that Wagner would have been proud! "We told Mr. Gelb during the first technical rehearsal at the Met, August 10. A few days later, the figures in the rental gave him reason: representations of Rheingold were complete and ticketing beat all records. (Interview by Renaud Machar)
