For more than a year, filmmaker Manu Bonmariage followed Franco Dragone's footsteps. The Italian - Walloon immigrant invented the concept of 'nouveau cirque' and also the look and feel of Cirque du Soleil. Imaginary spectacle shows as Nouvelle Expérience (1990), Saltimbanco (1992), Alegría (1994) were immensely popular all over the world in no time and brought Dragone to Las Vegas, where he performed a show with Céline Dion for years. All of his dreamy creations were invented and worked out in the Dragone 'laboratory' in La Louvière, the region in which he grew up. On the sidelines of the big productions is 'Othello, le Paseur', a Shakespeare adaptation that Dragone wants to dedicate to the region that once heartily welcomed him and his family. Bonmariage follows the progression of this show from the first rehearsals onwards, portraying Dragone's character, his perfectionism and temperament, in his own, unique way.
