A great, humorous, and deeply human, touching work. -- Der Standard (Vienna)
A hatchback has stalled in a beautiful snowy forest, stranding six metal-heads on their quest to build a hard rock–themed amusement park in protest of cheap consumerism. This deeply surreal fairy tale uses disarming wit and hints of magical realism—with the help of 1980s rock and medieval recorders—to celebrate the absurdity, joy, and wonder of human existence. La Mélancolie des Dragons promises a remarkably memorable, much talked-about theatrical experience. Conceived and directed by Philippe Quesne—one of Europe’s most distinctive performance-makers.
Note: Heavy fog will be used during performance.
