 “As a basis we took the very moment when a man in love mounts a horse and gallops after a young woman.

Next, it is the central office of the Development Business Department in Istanbul, which was involved in the organization. Guys from the Nomad Stunts trained at their base. They were preparing themselves for stunts related to equestrian art,”said show curator Vladimir Kosenko.

The arena in the KeruenSarai was specially designed for this show.

We have stuntmen, artists, dancers, actors and acrobats. We have a team of stage director Mario from France.
