About Totem
Written and directed by Robert Lepage, TOTEM traces the fascinating journey of the human species from its original amphibian state to its ultimate desire to fly. The characters evolve on a stage evoking a giant turtle, the symbol of origin for many ancient civilizations.

Inspired by many founding myths, TOTEM illustrates, through a visual and acrobatic language, the evolutionary progress of species.

Somewhere between science and legend TOTEM explores the ties that bind Man to other species, his dreams and his infinite potential.

Since its world premiere in Montreal in April 2010, TOTEM has been on a unique journey, performing to over one and a half million people worldwide. After a quick stay in Quebec City, it crossed the Atlantic Ocean to Amsterdam and London and then in spring of 2011 returned to North America to continue its journey. After the San Francisco engagement, TOTEM will make a second appearance at the Royal Albert Hall in London as of January 5, 2012 and then return to the Bay Area for the San Jose engagement.
