Pas de Cheval

What do horses and dancers have in common? Both are disciplined, trained and admired beings, shaped by an imagination that conceals a reality made of hard work and, at times, troubling power relations. In Pas de Cheval, two performers dance in silence while their voices reach us as though from another realm.  They speak to one another, confide in one another, mock their fate as artists and expose, with biting humour and sharp irony, the hidden cost of winning an audience’s love. Funny, cynical and deeply human, the performance questions the price of admiration.
