The Night of Saint Georges
Produced in 1993
This show was inspired by the legend of Saint George and the dragon.
The legend:
A castle is besieged by a dragon. The inhabitants have to designate who will be used as bait to lure the dragon. The king’s daughter draws the shortest straw and is designated. Thankfully along comes Saint George who combats and kills the dragon.
Saint George is the patron Saint of England, Catalonia, Navarre …he is to be found in the popular folklore of Russia , Greece and the Middle East …
The story:
Five travellers in search of adventure, pass thru a story’s mirror, to continue a quest. On the other side they meet a King, a queen, a beautiful princess and a ‘fake’ Saint George and his assistant. Their destinies seem to be interlaced. However the unexpected arrival of our five travellers upsets everything. In this situation where normally Saint George hammers the dragon, here ‘Les Plasticians Volants’ hammer the legend!
