Renowned director, creator and performer Robert LePage of Ex Machina was in the audience this weekend for the closing night of Sylvain Émard Danse’s performance of Fragments – Volume I at the Firehall.  M. LePage first visited the Firehall in 1984-85 Season with his award-winning production Circulations, which was at the beginning of his amazing career and the beginning of his love affair with Vancouver.
