Ex Anima DVD

Having hammered the earth of its equestrian Theater Zingaro, during more than a quarter of century, now Bartabas attacks the sky. And that he intends to feast there even more by putting the pug-nosed person in escape and the living dead on horseback. Get ready to enter a dance of the cheerfully macabre soul, unwound under your eyes as much as over your heads. A double furious carnival led to the sound of the drum of chinchineros, Mexican brass bands and barrel organs. With again and again the horse, the safest animal psychopompe which is as boatman, courier, a messenger and a guardian angel.

A movie by Bartabas and Jacques Malaterre, based on a Zingaro Theatre show. "His caravans, his music, his horses give him the appearance of a circus, but here the show is a ritual, music a vocation and the love of horses a religion. No "act", but a touch, a note, a set, a painting,..." Bartabas

Chamane (Shaman) is the second movie realized by Bartabas, taken out on March 6th, 1996. Escaped from the Gulag on Yakut horses, Dimitri, formerly violinist in Moscow, and an old Shaman run away in the taiga. Before dying, the Shaman reveals to his companion that spirits surround him, and that they will accompany him in the adventures and the meetings towards these unlimitedness where no man can survive only. With english subtitles.

This "mano a mano" accompanied by four horses will be done on the mystical effluvia of the liturgical works of Tomas Luis de Victoria looking for, says Bartabas, a silent music.
