“Thirty years of work would require me to look into their chronology. I would like to. But, although I do have many memories of my shows, I remember them in the wrong order. I remember them as the result of an encounter, a feeling, a smell, a music, a country, an audience, but never because of a date, an anniversary, never in the order I have lived them. Of passing time, I know neither the standard nor the measure.”
Bartabas, in L’Almanach Zingaro, Editions Actes Sud, 2014
