ESSENCE Theatre-Studio pitches to stage a spectacular performance of a classical Russian story of Leo Tolstoy’s “The Strider” known in the original novella as “Kholstomer”.
The show combines powerful theater presence with conveying storytelling through complex and exciting dance routines.
Today, the world is struggling with balance. On one hand, the level of hatred in one’s soul, rejection of differences in opinions, and the hunger for violence fill the minds of people. On the other, the need for Spiritual Light, altruism, uniqueness, and the Talent of the Flight of the Soul are felt by everyone on the planet as a dream and sincere goal. This performance is more relevant than ever before. It has the capability to not only touch the souls and the minds, but to inspire and fill the spirit with the need to create. This show must be performed by young, energetic actors.
In this performance, the language of contemporary theater plays out a very intense plot about young, energetic horses who never rise to the level of Kholstomer—a remarkable personality that is doomed for loneliness because of his otherness… condemned by the crowd for his “uniqueness.”
At its core, it is Leo Tolstoy meeting “Cats the Musical” but make the protagonists Horses.
