Dadara and Jesse

Dadara and Jesse are a veejaying duo from Amsterdam, who together made the movie "Fall and Rise of the Fools Ark".

The movie is the partially-animated story of the Greymen and their battle against the Fools Ark, a 15 metres long wooden ship built in Holland, transported to the United States and burnt in the Nevada desert. Footage from the construction of Dadara's Fool's Ark at Burning Man is intertwined into an audio-visual journey through forgotten worlds to tell the tale behind the project. This journey is guided by the music from Lamb.
