For the third opus of Cabaret de l'exil, Bartabas pays tribute to Persian women. Whether Afghan or Iranian, they too are artists in exile. Resilient and rebellious, they assert their identity and invoke ancestral memories, those of the ancient Scythian civilisation based on matriarchy. Among this nomadic people, the horse was a source of remarkable gender equality; travelling long distances on horseback and encouraging their mounts into battle was as much the prerogative of women as it was of men, as was the practice of the arts.

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.
