La Mélancolie Des Dragons

HOME in Manchester presents the UK première of La Mélancolie Des Dragons, from October 1-3.

It combines performance music, and visual art, directed by international guest artist, Paris-based theatre-maker Philippe Quesne.

A group of metalheads are eating crisps in a stranded Citroën car, much like a raft beached in the middle of a snowbound landscape.

Using only a projector, a smoke machine and a few wigs, together with a flute rendition of The Scorpions’ 1984 hit "Still Loving You", they invent a playground that is both minimal and multifunctional.
