Robert Lepage's 'La Damnation de Faust': Opera in the Age of Windows
Soumis par pascal beauchesne le mar, 03/11/2009 - 10:00(content from FAST COMPANY magazine)
Robert Lepage has elevated the Metropolitan Opera's La Damnation de Faust to a new level--four of them, actually.
The set, introduced last year and revived this season, is four stories partitioned off by five columns, a Hollywood Squares-style wall backed with 24 cubicles of drama and activity. It's a captivating innovation for modern, plugged-in theatergoers used to watching multiple screens, browsers, tabs, and windows. The cells are configured to either frame the main scene, so viewers don't have to squint at tiny figurines parading around up- or down-stage, or flood the set with action on all four levels.
And that's just the beginning.
