Combining theatre, film, dance, poetry, visual arts, music and sound, the Montreal-based company uses virtual reality, allowing the actors to interact with projected scenery, and with other forms of themselves, in a 3D environment. A magical experience that will astound the eye and stir the heart. The Lady will be played by Canadas Diane DAquila, who has been captivating audiences since the 1970s, playing everyone from Cleopatra to Queen Margaret and originating roles in works by George F. Walker, Peter Hinton, and Tennessee Williams. Her turn as Queen Elizabeth I in Timothy Findleys Elizabeth Rex earned her Gemini and ACTRA Awards, and NOW Magazine named her a Top Ten Theatre Artist of 2011. Ms. DAquila played Alcestis in Robert Wilsons Alcestis (based on a play by Euripides), which played the Festival dAutomne in Paris. ADMISSION: $49 – $99
