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.

Not less than seventy horses and twenty five riders evoke through this magic fresco the dream of the East and the taste of distant fashionable in the XVIIIth century, in the sound of musics consisted at that time in India, in America or in Europe.

Just the once will not hurt, Bartabas explores the notion of freedom and has fun with all the dangers. For this creation been born in 2006, the founder of the equestrian theater Zingaro was inspired by the universe of the Gypsies of Central Europe. The artist and the director gathered his best riders and 45 horses. The set is supported by two groups of Rumanian musicians: a brass band of brass instruments native of Moldavia and a set with ropes of Transylvania.

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.
