Legion
Series · 2017
David Haller, AKA Legion, is a troubled young man who may be more than human. Diagnosed as schizophrenic, David has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. But after a strange encounter with a fellow patient, he’s confronted with the possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees might be real.
The sides of Legion
- A young man diagnosed with schizophrenia
- Voices that might be real powers
- A psychiatric hospital that is not what it seems
Legion is good for you if…
- you like a superhero story told from inside a confused mind.
- you like dance numbers, bold colours and dreamlike staging.
- you like not knowing what is real and piecing it together with David.
Legion is bad for you if…
- you want a story where everything is clearly explained.
- you want superhero fights more than a trip through a man's head.
