“Probably the best thing I ever saw at Vooruit”, said a visitor on vooruit.be about la Mélancholie des Dragons by French dramatist Philippe Quesne. The VRT (Flemish national television) called it “enchanting and powerful” and “a magnificent piece”, De Morgen gave it a five-star review. The story of six hard rockers who build an amusement park with little more than a few large plastic bags was at once hilarious and moving. In L’Effet de Serge, Quesne and his company Vivarium studio once again work with small means to obtain maximum effect. Each week Serge prepares a show with tricks and special effects that he performs for his friends on Sunday. The result is another funny and touching performance.
