Our take

The result of research carried out at Le Fresnoy art center, this short surreal work by French director Pierre Mazingarbe takes you into a waking dream where fantasy and reality overlap. A satiric look at Belgian royalty that’s joyfully irreverent, sometimes cruel, but full of playful imagination.
