Ex Anima

"For this ultimate creation, I would like to celebrate them as the true actors of this original “Equestrian Theater”… To set up a ritual without memory, a ceremony where the audience will see the animal such as the mirror of humanity."
Bartabas

They shoot angels, don’t they? (elegies)

Bartabas dedicates this thirteenth opus of its theater Zingaro to the winged Secretaries, to the chubby messengers of God: the angels, who were right to be patient. Because this show is magnificent.

Golgota

After "Entr'aperçue" (Entr'aperceived) and "Le Centaure et l'animal" (The Centaur and the animal), the acclaimed French artist returns to the stage in a "mano a mano" with contemporary flamenco dancer Andrés Marín, in a dialogue between man, animal, dance and the silent music of Tomas Luis de Victoria; once again demonstrating that flamenco is living art from which knows no boundaries.

Calacas

As much as a life on the run plan a great departure as fatal as a work of art. - André Velter -

The Centaur and the animal

Guided by man during the long apprenticeship that is dressage, the horse accesses a level of “knowledge”, thus turning man and animal into a centaur. Conversely, man looks to bring back to the surface the animal instinct at the origins of his creation, like a journey back through evolution, a regression back into the deepest layers of his being. - Bartabas -

Darshan

Meaning "sight" or "vision" in Sanskrit, the term Darshan is a practice that consists in glimpsing the divine, such as in the temporary unveiling of the statue of a god or the fleeting contemplation of special deity or holy person.

Sunrise

A stolen moment of intimacy and dreams between the lord of the horse and his mount, to the rhythm of the breaking dawn.

Entr’aperceived

"So many things entr'aperceived can never be seen"
Victor Segalen - Extract from Painting

Battuta

In Battuta, everything carries and is carried along, to the rhythm of the musicians’ dialogue… Sentimental or wild and vivid, equal to the men ready to vie with the present moment until death. - Le Monde -

Loungta

Broaching a subject in Tibet, even only in imagination or thought, makes you immediately stand taller. By making use of such a world, reproducing it via sudden intuitions and transfigured scenes, Bartabas accomplishes has worked a new wonder. - André Velter -

Triptyk

For the first time ever, Bartabas has choreographed a dance of horses and riders on composed pieces of music: 'The Rite of Spring' and the 'Symphony of Psalms' by Stravinsky, 'Dialogue de l'Ombre Double' by Pierre Boulez

Eclipse

For Zingaro, every show and every night is only a stage in a long journey. Eclipse shows the ground that has been covered. A new approach: with dancers. A new constraint: that of black and white, shadow and light. And notably a new musical encounter, Shinawi melodies and the stirring voices of Pansori music, instilling into the troupe the ancestral inner strength of Korea, the Land of the Morning Calm. - Bartabas

Chimera

The equestrian Theater Zingaro mixes cultures of the journey, which created him and which inspire him. Marked with the inheritance of his imaginary ancestors, the tribe Zingaro became little by little people roaming in the ancestral cultures. With 'Chimère', Zingaro goes back in time, guided by the horse towards the banks of the Indian civilization, in the desert plains of Thar, at the source of the nomadic people.

Equestrian Opera

Virtuoso horses, Georgian and Berber voices, music by Jean-Pierre Drouet, acrobatics: the first equestrian-lyrical epic to be experienced riding flat out. - Libération -

Equestrian Cabaret

Zingaro: an incessant ambiguity, luxurious and flashy, refined and battered, wild and ironic. Zingaro is born in the corridors of a master-less castle, from the union of cabaret and farmyard. - Le Monde -

Shows

LE SACRE DE STRAVINSKY

Bartabas revisits his famous choreography of Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring) and Symphonie de Psaumes (Symphony of Psalms). Created in 2000 in Amsterdam for the Equestrian Theatre Zingaro, these two choreographies enclosed Dialogue de l’Ombre Double (Dialogue of the Double Shadow), by Pierre Boulez, for Triptyk , a show performed all around the world, from Moscow to Los Angeles.

For this creation, the horseriders of Zingaro, the squires of the National Equestrian Academy of Versailles, and the dancers of the Danza Contemporánea de Cuba company, will seize the telluric choreography created by Bartabas. Dialogue of the Double Shadow will be replaced by Stravinsky’s Elegy, for viola (or violin) solo, a new piece especially created by Bartabas and played by Vladimir Percevic (viola and violin).

The Theatre

Designed by architect Patrick Bouchain, the theatre is a wooden construction. As soon as they enter the premises, audience members feel like they are already in the show.

The Big Top

Zingaro means “Gypsy”, evoking a journey around the cultures of the world. In order to meet his audience, Bartabas adapts in his big top the shows created in Aubervilliers’ theatre.
