Ex Anima DVD

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.

The Darshan combines visual capture and revelation. It makes perceptible a part of the invisible : it increases the sight tenfold.

For the first time, Bartabas builds the dance of horses and riders on written musics: the Rite of Spring and The Symphony of psalms of Stravinsky, Dialogue of the shade doubles of Pierre Boulez Triptyk, been born with the year 2000, creates again the event: few horses, no soloists, no game of Bartabas and on the other hand the support of written and registered musics. Europe seems closer than to custom.

With Loungta, les chevaux de vent (wind horses), Bartabas invites us to discover a spiritual Tibet, transfigured as always by the magic of his art. The tiltle "Loungta, les chevaux de vent" the title designates banners of veils with syllables and sacred phrases recited by monks during funeral ceremonies. The idea for the show came from a visit by Bartabas to the temple of Gyuto in India, where Lamaic monks have been trained since their forced exile from Tibet.
