| Description |
The idea for Needles and Opium was born form Lepage's discovery that artist Jean Cocteau and jazzman Miles Davis first crossed the Atlantic in 1949 to visit each other's cities. The play finds further parallels between drug addiction, psychological obsession and art. Lepage has revisited the piece 20 years after its inception, enriching it with an updated storyline and new audiovisual wizardry. |
