On the ring, the remains of a banquet suggest the morning after a celebration. The audience has not arrived at the wrong time: they are invited to discover the performers’ daily life and their preparations for the evening’s show. This creation explores the boundary between humans and animals through the shared life of seven horses, six artists and two dogs.
