Episode description
Screenwriter and director John August (Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, The Nightmare Before Christmas) is known for creating wildly imaginative storylines where darkness and light get turned inside-out. He joins Michel Laprise for a chat about character evolution, story-worlds, and stories that challenge our understanding of darkness. Together they discuss ALEGRIA, a Cirque du Soleil show exploring themes of light vs. darkness, the thirst for change, and ‘sympathy for the devil.’
