About
King Ivar keeps his kingdom in the dark, afraid of prowling dragons. When his son Georges disappears, young Sabra sets out into the dark and discovers the power of images, shadows and stories. The show mixes storytelling, video, music and object theater, performed fully in French and French Sign Language, with signed songs at its center. A political fable about war and lies, it suits kids ready for darker themes.
