Description Revered theatre maker Robert Lepage revisits a magically staged masterpiece more than 20 years after its first production. A fascinating and thoughtful performance, Needles and Opium explores the complex relationships between displacement, drug addiction and creative drive. Revealed through the lives of Parisian poet and filmmaker Jean Cocteau, American jazz legend Miles Davis and Lepage’s own journey, this work is brilliantly conceived and astonishingly performed
