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.

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.

For Zingaro, every show, every evening is only the stage of a long journey. Eclipse shows the traveled path. A new approach, dancers. A new constraint, only black and white: the shade and the light. A new musical meeting especially, the melodies of the shinawi and the " bloody ways " of the pansori singing, the transfusion in the team, the ancestral internal strength of the country of quiet morning, Korea.

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.
