Description The Dragons’ Trilogy is a sprawling tale of three generations from Canada’s multicultural mosaic. Spanning 75 years, seven time zones, six hours and three intervals, this epic performance conjures up an Orient invented in the minds of two young girls raised in the Chinese quarter of Quebec City in the 1930s. Characters emerge, vanish and reappear, their stories played out through the haunting symbolism and colour of the dragons in a game of Mah Jong.
