A gesture downward, from Bartabas: the squire and the choreographer. From an encounter with Pina Bausch, the man who whispers in the ears of horses draws a modest story.
The choreographer gave one of her shows at the Théâtre de la Ville. Once again, the two found themselves, fascinated by each other, clan leaders, she of dancers, he of horses, their tongues loosened by the night and the wine. Thirty-five years later, Bartaas wrote A gesture downward to “remain faithful to what is disappearing” This is his third book.
