Breaking a Leg (1992) delves into the creative process of renowned director Robert Lepage, who has been instrumental in shaping some of the most thrilling Canadian theatre productions of the past decade. The documentary chronicles Lepage's collaboration with the newly formed Montréal theatre company, Theatre 1774, as they embark on their inaugural production. The play, titled "Echo," is an adaptation of a collection of prose poetry that weaves together the stories of a contemporary couple, a medieval convent, and a deteriorating divine figure. The film offers an intimate look into the journey from the initial workshop sessions to the opening night and beyond, providing a unique perspective on Lepage's directorial approach and the challenges faced by a fledgling theatre company striving to bring a show to life.
