  3. Needles and Opium


An Ex Machina production (Québec) co-production with Théâtre du Trident (Québec), Théâtre du Nouveau Monde (Montréal), and Canadian Stage (Toronto)

Theatrical wizard Robert Lepage brings technical brilliance and emotional punch to NAC audiences with a mesmerizing new production of his acclaimed Needles and Opium. During a hypnotic series of vignettes, Jean Cocteau, Miles Davis, and a tormented Québécois man share the stage in a desperate journey into the unknown. As much magic as it is theatre, Lepage’s passion, wit, and spellbinding kaleidoscope of images are as compelling as the characters themselves.

Needles and Opium marks the first presentation at the NAC directed by Lepage since the huge success of The Blue Dragon (Le Dragon Bleu).
