The Sága project, created by the Belgian band Dez Mona, is a captivating musical exploration that weaves together history, mythology, and emotional storytelling. Drawing from Nordic mythology, where Sága is the goddess of history and storytelling, the project blends ballads with a theatrical form, often described as a “concertante opera.” It is a reflection on themes of homecoming, belonging, and the search for light in a flawed world.

Dez Mona, known for their fusion of jazz, classical, gospel, and French art songs, collaborated with the ensemble B.O.X (Baroque Orchestration X), creating a soundscape that bridges genres and eras. The ballads of Sága explore the soul’s journey, the search for a home, and a deeper connection to the land. The performance reflects on past narratives to better understand the present, all while crafting a poetic and musical journey. The project was showcased at events like the PROTOTYPE Festival, with raving reviews for its innovative musical arrangements and artistic execution​
