Bartabas, Zingaro, un théâtre pour les chevaux. Fabienne Pascaud. French version
Artaud and Kantor, Bausch and Mnouchkine, Kurosawa and Tarkovski, Pasolini and Paradjanov, Caravaggio and Géricault, have all nourished Bartabas' universe and his relationship with art. Nomadic by nature, gypsy by choice, curious, attentive to otherness, wildly intuitive, Bartabas has allowed himself to be crossed by Georgian, Berber, Romanian, Indian, Tibetan and Persian cultures on his many travels. And the words of poets too.
As a faithful spectator, Fabienne Pascaud has been observing the metamorphoses of the Zingaro company for forty years, listening to the love language whispered between this visionary and his horses. In this essay, she gathers the intimate thoughts behind these equine choreographies, this unique theater by and for horses.
