Adapted and inspired from the play Lipsynch, Triptyque is a contemporary urban saga that tells the story of Michelle a schizophrenic bookseller, Marie, singer and actress, and Thomas, a German neurologist. Three lives, three destinies that cross and resonate, Triptyque is a sensitive and deeply moving variation on the themes of memory and identity.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Lepage developed this over seven years from his nine-hour theatrical epic Lipsynch, carving out just these three interwoven threads.
The film's bilingual tension (French/German/English) mirrors Quebec's own linguistic identity anxieties—Lepage's eternal obsession.
