Dez Mona is working on a new album and show entitled “Saga”. The premiere (Klarafestival – Flagey Brussels / DeSingel Antwerp) and the release of the album are scheduled for September, but the rehearsals are now underway in the Singel – Antwerp and can be followed via a daily blog.
An important aspect of this project is the collaboration with artists from different disciplines such as Nick Andrews, a British painter stranded in Antwerp who will literally color the show, Jan Pauwels: a light artist, designs an installation that will form part of the set, Veronique Branquinho: who makes the costumes, Jeroen Olyslaegers writes a story / novella about Saga.
Musically Dez Mona forms a partnership with BOX (a baroque ensemble).
The group is also working on the soundtrack of a French film (Une Estonienne a Paris) with the legendary Jeanne Moreau in a lead role. For this, tracks from the previous album ‘Kommt Hilfe “are edited and one or more new songs are being recorded. The film will participate in the competition at the Berlin Film Festival 2012.
