SÁGA Live in New York - full concert video (Dez Mona & B.O.X)

In 2011, Dez Mona and B.O.X premiered SÁGA, a ballad opera about the search for a home. In January of 2016, they had the opportunity to perform the piece three times at the Prototype Festival in New York City. The New York Times wrote in their review afterwards that they'd seen something “… classy, sensual, exquisitely artful and unmistakably new”.

These concerts were recorded in their entirety and later released as a live album. We are excited to now also present you the full concert film.

In 2021, B.O.X and Dez Mona recorded a follow-up album, LUCY, about what 'home' means in vastly different circumstances. You can discover it here: https://dezmonabox.lnk.to/vYPDlo
