OTTAWA, Feb. 22, 2013 /CNW/ - One of Canada's best-known artists, Robert
Lepage, has received the 10th Glenn Gould Prize in recognition of his unique lifetime contribution to
the arts.
Mr. Lepage has a well-deserved reputation, in Canada and
internationally, for his incredible work as a director, playwright,
actor and filmmaker. His highly visual style integrates new
technologies and creative art forms, resulting in a sense of ritual,
magic and wonder.
In 2008, to mark the 400th anniversary of Quebec City, Mr. Lepage's production company, Ex
Machina, created The Image Mill, a gigantic outdoor architectural projection that helped Canadians
celebrate four centuries of history.
On behalf of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Government of Canada,
I offer my sincere congratulations to Robert Lepage for his remarkable
contribution to this country's rich and diverse cultural landscape.
