The Image Mill - Robert Lepage & Ex Machina
lacaserne.net
During 40 minutes, much more than an historical panorama, the Moulin à Images will offer a playful 3-D show about the city's past, present, and future. It will be a mosaic of icons, sounds, and ideas organized around four great ages of Quebec City: the age of waterways and exploration; the age of roadways and settlement; the age of railways and development; and the age of airways and communication.
