DVD Voyage aux Indes Galantes

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

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.

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.

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.
