Théâtre Répère
Company in Quebec City, Quebec, founded in 1980 by Irène Roy and Jacques Lessard (among others) but now chiefly remembered for the works of Robert Lepage. It disbanded in 1994.
Lepage was first an actor, then director, then artistic director with the company which toured the world with his works including La Trilogie des dragons.
The company refused to be niched and if one were to attempt to do so, multidisciplinary might come closest. It was, first and foremost, a theatre of exploration that always presented works with a highly visual element.
