Show, filmed by Michel Viotte

This performance, featuring more than 70 horses, turns Versailles into a haunted estate. The park becomes a thick forest, its pools are turned into murky swamps and the king is Macbeth. Taking inspiration from the cinematographic interpretation by Akira Kurosawa, from which he adopted the Japanese ambience, Bartabas stages Shakespeare’s famous tragedy at the Neptune Fountain.

Production: Bartabas
