Canadian playwright and visionary Robert Lepage has adapted his own play “Lipsynch” into a remarkable new feature. Triptych divides its focus between three closely linked characters across three cities. In Quebec City, mentally troubled bookshop owner Michelle (Lise Castonguay) emerges from her latest bout of institutionalization still unable to shake persistent hallucinations. In London, a brain surgeon, Thomas (Hans Piesbergen) faces the potential end of his career thanks to a hand tremor, while he takes on a new patient, a jazz singer and voice actress named Marie (Frédérike Bédard).
