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.

The meeting of Bartabas with Ko Murobushi, one of the artists of the most famous and recognized in Japan as the heir of the rules of Tatsumi Hijikata, at the origin of Butô, appears as exciting one artistic adventure which examines the borders and the passages between two sensitive and exceptional universes.

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.

Bartabas takes us on Victor Segalen's tracks. Between landscapes and calligraphy, suggested China shows itself then the frame of a very intimate journey. For the first time, Bartabas gives a show onto a theater stage: between tulles and kakemonos, shadows and lights, the scenic space metamorphoses. The reality is not comprehensible any more but entr' perceived.
