(Audiences are limited to 20 people, so there’s lots of room to move around.) The first part of the experience takes place in a (much-smaller) recreation of Manguel’s own comfortable library, shelved with hundreds of eclectic volumes in several languages.
And you don’t have to leave downtown Toronto to get there. Based on Alberto Manguel’s book of the same name, the hybrid exhibit/virtual reality experience takes you to 10 of the world’s most famous real or imagined libraries. Since international travel – and even visiting acquaintances’ homes – has mostly been put on hold during the pandemic, Robert Lepage’s The Library At Night provides a pleasant, if slight, diversion. At the Toronto Lighthouse Artspace (1 Yonge).
THE LIBRARY AT NIGHT by Robert Lepage, based on the works of Alberto Manguel (Lighthouse Immersive/Luminato Festival).
