The Far Side of the Moon

An Ex Machina production presented by Canadian Stage

Borders divide, the cosmos unites

Canadian legend Robert Lepage returns to Canadian Stage after sold-out productions of 887 and Needles and Opium.

Set against the Cold War's fierce U.S.-Soviet rivalry, this gripping story explores the personal and political turmoil of an era defined by global tension with a uniquely Canadian perspective. Through the tale of two Quebec City brothers, Lepage's stunning use of multimedia and visual storytelling draws the audience into a world on the brink of change and portrays the impact of global conflict on the individual.

Shows the timelessness of dreaming about a different world – The Guardian

Stunningly theatrical, visually striking and emotionally uplifting – Variety

The Far Side of the Moon is funny, melancholic, and introspective all at once. It forces us to ponder about the world beyond our solar system, grief, and the miraculous potential of human imagination. – Time Out
