Famed Québécois playwright, stage director, and actor Robert Lepage; and Ex Machina, Lepage’s interdisciplinary production company, present the newest physical performance by cirque troupe FLIP Fabrique.

SLAM! is a hypertheatre spectacle, both poetic and kinetic, where acrobats embody a gallery of characters in and out of the ring. SLAM! is where a kilted Scotsman and a muscular superhero, an Amazon warrior woman and a contortionist Barbie, and a luchador and a diabolo master all face off in the ring and highlight a range of acrobatics — hand-to-hand juggling, physical twists, and displays of strength. Opponents contrast and highlight each other’s skills, while the audience cheers its heroes and boos its villains.

At The Place, you can gather and unwind for an hour before the concert. It’s a ticketed option that gives you a chance to arrive early and relax with a beverage or two and light snacks before taking your seat at the performance.
