Show - Cabaret de l'exil : Femmes Persanes

Whether Afghan or Iranian, they are also artists in exile. Resistant and rebellious, they assert their identity and summon up their ancestral memory, that of the ancient Scythian civilisation founded on matriarchy. For this nomadic people, the horse was the source of remarkable gender equality; riding long distances and encouraging their mounts into battle was the prerogative of women as much as men, as was the practice of the arts.
For the occasion, Bartabas has invited Iranian artists - musicians, singers and dancers - to join his tribe of half-women, half-horsewomen, and to give voice, through the voices of famous and anonymous poetesses, to the song of a Persian woman freed from her mystical attributes and asserting her right to passionate love.

An invitation to travel, to be discovered over a drink at the Fort d'Aubervilliers in the ever-reinvented Zingaro equestrian theatre.
