Ex Anima DVD

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

Mazeppa is the history of a passion. The exclusive passion which attaches two men to horses. The one runs out wanting to paint them in movement, it is Théodore Géricault, famous artist of the XIXth century. Other one is proud of dominating them completely, it is Franconi, the rider who manages an itinerant troop of riders and who we call "master". What gathers these two men, it is the will of master to teach Géricault what is really a horse, it is the appetite which Géricault has to learn. A movie beautiful as a fireworks which celebrates the union crowned of the man and the horse.

A movie by Bartabas and Jacques Malaterre, based on a Zingaro Theatre show. "His caravans, his music, his horses give him the appearance of a circus, but here the show is a ritual, music a vocation and the love of horses a religion. No "act", but a touch, a note, a set, a painting,..." Bartabas

With the show "They shoot angel, don't they ?", the thirteenth in thirty years, Zingaro continues his indomitable, equestrian and poetic quest into the unknown. Laughter often goes along in this pit of chimeras each time reinvented, where white clowns looking like butchers are stirring to popular tunes.
