In our cities, on bronze horses, proud kings quietly stare above our heads. Artistic duo Byström Källblad address the European image of male dominance and ask: Where are the women and their stories? In City Horses a herd of female dancers gallop from city to city, making the squares and streets their stage. In a living monument they reimagine the role of the female body in public space with courage and horsepower.
“City Horses” is a co-production of Big Pulse Dance Alliance, co-produced by Sismògraf Dance Festival (Catalonia – Spain), Julidans (Netherlands), Tanz im August / HAU Hebbel am Ufer (Germany) and CODA Oslo International Dance Festival (Norway), co-financed by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
