THE DRAGONS
A play with young people
Strange creatures invade the peaceful town of Backwardville. What are they? Aliens? Werewolves? Dragons? They divide people’s opinions. Are they a menace to the town's customs or can they benefit the economy? Shall they be sent to the local Abu-Guraib hostel or made into minced meat?
THE TWO DEATHS OF QUINCAS WATERYELL
A play with young people
After a decade living among the bums, pimps and prostitutes, Quincas Wateryell, king of the city of Salvador lowlife meets his Maker. His prim family promptly claims the corpse for a proper burial. Quincas still sneers at them. When a bottle of rum arrives at the wake, Quincas decides the party might be too good to miss. A tale about freedom versus the norm performed by young people aged 16 to 19 years old. Dende was resident at Arts Depot for 2 months to develop this show.
