New creation: Calacas From 2 November 2012 at the Fort d’Aubervilliers After having pounded the ground of his Théâtre Equestre Zingaro for more than a quarter of a century, Bartabas is now tackling the skies. There he intends to celebrate with renewed vigour, chasing after the grim reaper and the living dead on horseback. Prepare to enter into the dance of the joyfully macabre, performed under your very eyes and above your head. A twofold wild and furious carnival led to the sound of Chinchineros drums, Mexican brass bands and the barrel organ, with, as always, the presence of horses, the surest psychopompos animal ever to act as escort, steed, messenger and guardian angel.

La Voie de l'écuyer From 12 February at the Manege de la Grande Ecurie in the Château de Versailles Show choreographed by Bartabas for the riders of the Académie du Spectacle Equestre de Versailles. In this show, discover the repertoire of this one-of-a-king ballet corps. The show is followed by a visit of the stables.
