Breaking a Leg: Robert Lepage and the Echo Project is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by Donald Winkler and released in 1992.[1] An examination of the creative process, the film follows theatre director Robert Lepage as he works on Echo, the 1989 theatre production which would become Lepage's first significant popular and critical failure as a theatre director.[2]

The film was a Genie Award nominee for Best Short Documentary at the 14th Genie Awards in 1993.[3]
