Ex Anima DVD

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.

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.

With Chimera, Zingaro goes back in time, guided by the horse towards the shores of the Indian civilization, in the desert plains of Thar, at the source of the nomadic people. They are accompanied in their journey by the musicians heirs of these thousand-year-old traditions, a group of Langas and Manganiyars, roaming bards of the Rajasthan, with whom they pursue their dream: to melt at the same moment the happiness of the public, the singers, the horses and the riders, to share the immense risks to exist.

Recording of the show Opéra Equestre in July 1991 in Avignon. In this show in the form of a ritual challenge, two tribes of horsemen and singers, one of Berber influence, the other of Caucasian influence, meet, compete, play on their differences and their similarities.
