Mark Wigmore speaks with Robert Lepage

Mark Wigmore, host of The New Classical FM's "The Oasis" (weekdays from 3 - 7pm) speaks with internationally acclaimed Canadian theatre artist Robert Lepage, who has just unveiled a brand-new immersive experience "The Library at Night" at 1 Yonge Street in Toronto.
Inspired by Argentinian Canadian writer Alberto Manguel’s acclaimed 2006 book The Library at Night - which explores the theoretical, architectural, and social dimensions that underlie any library’s existence- the exhibit was initially designed by Lepage and his production company Ex Machina to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Montreal’s Grande Bibliothèque in 2015. THE LIBRARY AT NIGHT has since toured internationally including stops in Brazil and Paris, as well as an engagement in Quebec City, now arriving in Toronto, the city Manguel made his Canadian home from 1982-2000.
An immersive scenographic and virtual experience, THE LIBRARY AT NIGHT is dedicated to the poetic, artistic, historical, and philosophical universe of libraries. Employing VR headsets and 360 video immersion technology, the exhibit takes you inside reconstructed or fictional libraries from different historical moments and corners of the world.
