La Meancholie Des Dragons L'Effet de Serge Next DayLa Meancholie Des Dragons
Synopsis:
La Melancolie des Dragons is a unique masterpiece, combining performance and visual art in a truly enchanting mix. In a snowy wilderness, a car breaks down. Six long-haired rockers and a dog emerge. With no idea how to restart the car they look around, lost for purpose. A woman arrives. Gradually, removing wigs, snow spray and a bubble machine from gigantic plastic bags, they create their own version of an amusement park: a visually stunning, uniquely humorous world.

Top of PageL'Effet de Serge
Synopsis:
This is part of the Under the Radar Festival. On Sunday afternoons, in his living room and for a very small audience, Serge performs 1-3 numbers with low-tech special effects. Serge's focused concentration on his own universe highlights the implicit futility in our daily rituals and at the same time exposes the pleasure and necessity of these routines. L'Effet de Serge is Drama on a small scale, void of traditional thematic breadth and complex intrigues, and shows us a man who finds the sublime in the trivial.

Top of PageNext Day
Synopsis:
Next Day is a moving and honest account of how young people really think and feel. Thirteen performers aged 8 11 explore the everyday rituals of normal life, which become extraordinary, absurd and provocative through the microscopic lens of Paris-based director Philippe Quesne. This is an invitation to share a glimpse into the adult world as it is experienced by these young minds.
