Robert Lepage is one of Canada's and the world's leading names when it comes to pushing the boundaries of what's possible to do with a theatre production. In his current touring show 887 he examines his early life growing up in Quebec City, roaming around on stage between scaled-down replicas of the buildings in his old neighbourhood.

Lepage joins Tom Power for a career-spanning interview that looks at the surprisingly personal nature of his often-dazzling work.
