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. The cast of TOTEM comprises 52 performing artists from 17 countries.
