Synopsis
Alliance Française de Pune is pleased to invite you to The Horsemen : a burlesque and hilarious circus performance. Three elegant French Horse riders, inspired by the ‘‘French attitude’’,make a demonstration of a training for the next Olympic Games. The audience is also part of the show as the performers will interact with them in a very funny way!
The Horsemen represent a caricatured image of French people seen by the ‘‘Others”: arrogant, self-assured, almost unpleasant. To the public, the three characters ask if, by their strange attitude, by their look, they can represent the French people for the next competition.
The Company
The company defends an interactive theatre with the audience and questions the traditional role of the actor by giving him the capacity to intervene anywhere in any place,through engaging contemporary
writing.The company also enjoys recognition abroad allowing them to continuously evolve their shows through an interaction with a varied audience, in different languages, while always questioning, inventing and sometimes defending their relationship with public spaces.
Between the 28th February and the 10th of March 2016, Horsemen will tour the Alliance Francaise network in India to present their creation.
