What is love? How do we experience love? Does everybody have access to it? Third part of the trilogy The Other, the Normal, born out of “en dynamei,” a collective of young artists with or without disabilities and their need to openly share their personal stories and explore universal aspects of human individuality, Horse in Love / The Absurdity of Love, directed by Eleni Efthymiou, is a performance about love, this special form of ‘disability’ which holds power over people, torpedoes them, electrifies them, drives them mad, sets them ablaze. A performance celebrating spontaneous vitality, sexual impulses, all the senses which have been numbed by a strictly rational perspective on life. A performance breaking through social barriers and hurdles in order to address the absurd, instincts, the forbidden, the imagination, the soul, persevering on the quest for an ultimate and mutual love.
