MY FAVOURITE PICTURE WOULD BE APART FROM MY OWN REFLECTION THE SPARKLES IN YOUR EYES I SEE WHEN YOU’RE STARING AT MY FASHION I WAS BORN ON A PIANO MY FIRST CRY WAS A SONATA BY THE MOONLIGHT AND ITS HALO APPEARED A FATA MORGANA IF MY LIFE WAS MEANT TO BE HEAVEN PLENTY OF LOVE IN MY EGGSHELL WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? IT CRACKED FROM PARADISE TO HELL IT’S SO HARD TO BE BEAUTIFUL IT’S A BURDEN MORE THAN A GIFT I’M PERFECT BUT I’M JUST A FOOL THIS BURDEN IS SO HARD TO LIFT I WANT TO TELL YOU A STORY ALTHOUGH IT’S MINE IT WILL BE YOURS MY SWEET VOICE WILL LEAD THE JOURNEY AND YOUR MINDS WILL OPEN THEIR DOORS

about

The Dramaticon est une méditation libre, teintée d’humour et de poésie, sur les souvenirs qui nous hantent, les disparus qui nous accompagnent et comment nous, vivants, nous débattons avec nos passions.

Il en résulte un récit composite et baroque, dont la narration cryptique vise plus la contemplation que la compréhension.

The Dramaticon prend la forme d’un opéra pop pour donner envie de danser au rythme des drames, futiles ou impitoyables, qui donnent à la vie cette tonalité insondable.

C’est l’histoire d’une inquiétante sirène sur le déclin, d’un œuf pourri si narcissique qu’il ne remarque pas les vers qui le mangent de l’intérieur, d’un oiseau pirate et d’un ours de satin, d’un ninja candide et nihiliste, qui côtoient les ombres anthropomorphes d’un singe rudimentaire et d’un garçon au corps couvert de vagues...
