Robert Lepage, Ex Machina et Betty Bonifassi, SLĀV — A theatrical odyssey based on slave songs
July 10 to 14, 8 p.m., Théâtre du Nouveau Monde
Combining the innovative expertise of Ex Machina, the staging brilliance of Robert Lepage and the incomparable voice of Betty Bonifassi, SLĀV is a theatrical odyssey inspired by and focused on traditional African-American slave and work songs, from cotton field plantations to railroad yards, immortalized by John and Alan Lomax during the ’30s. An astonishingly visual tribute to music as an engine of resilience and freedom.
