Centaurs of the Sands — 1/59

MOROCCO · NOVEMBER 2002

Rooted in Moroccan tradition, the fantasia, the a combination of charging on horseback and rifle shooting; though it is highly spectacular, there is more to it. It is above all a warrior game, impressive in itself, of course. It exists primarily to recreate the fighting conditions of yesteryear. The rules alone are a genuine rite. Fantasia in Fez during the Horse Festival.

Enracinée dans la tradition marocaine, la fantasia, union parfaite de la charge à cheval et du tir au fusil, va au-delà de la performance équestre. C'est avant tout un jeu guerrier. Superbe certes, mais dont la principale raison d'être est de recréer les conditions du combat d'antan. Les règles qui la régissent constituent un véritable rite. Fantasia à Fez pendant la fête du cheval.
