Horses

Amphithéâtre Olivier Messiaen - from 16 to 19 November 2018

Synopsis

Conveyed by poetic duets between five children and five adults, Horses is a plea for solidarity and freedom. The Flemish company kabinet k leads the spectator into a world where adults and children form a harmonious group in a symbiosis that questions our notions of power, vulnerability and encountering others, ultimately leading to a sense of detachment. Like a horse with unbridled energy, dance expresses the thirst for life, recreation, passion but also tenderness. The guitar and saxophone take the reins of a world in which carefree childhood reminds adults that dreams and doubts are still allowed.
