Remember the dragons… / 10+

A girl from Marocco is never hungry, can’t feel pain and barely needs any sleep. A Danish boy has known since he was four that he would rather be a girl. A kid his age, from South-Africa, secretly joins his grandfather at night to create crop circles in nearby fields. Remember the dragons… is a feast of lies, and submerges you in a bath full of stories that seem too absurd to be true.

Remember the dragons… allows young and old to be captured by stories and look at them from different perspectives, sending you home with a special set of shared memories - and a beautiful and shiny moonstone.

‘Lies, fantasy, stories, it was - and will remain for days after - a wonderful balancing act on the line between fiction and truth.’

Remember the dragons… is a multimedia theater performance, for ages 10 and up. The young ones gets a seat at a large oval table with thirty television screens, while the accompanying adult or parent is brought to an interactive waiting room, with a live connection to the table.
