For the first time, Bartabas sets the dance of horses and riders to written music: The Rite of Spring and Symphony of Psalms by Stravinsky, Dialogue de l'ombre double by Pierre Boulez. Texts in english : Françoise Gründ and André Velter Photographs : Antoine Poupel

Get ready to enter a joyfully macabre soul dance, unfolding before your eyes as well as above your head. A double carnival led to the sound of chinchineros' drums, Mexican brass bands and barrel organs. With again and again the horse, the safest psycho-pumping animal as ferryman, messenger and guardian angel.
