ABOUT THE PROJECT
City Horses
Open Air Co-Production
In our cities, on bronze horses, proud kings quietly stare above our heads. Their history and visual male dominance daily manifested and passed on to the next generation. Where are the women and their stories? In the choreography, City Horses, female dancers make the squares and streets their stage and gallop through, city to city passing forward an experience about power, existence and the female body in the public space, a living monument in constant motion, celebrating female courage and power of all ages.
Film Installation
In addition to the performance, the City Horses film installation is available for touring.
