LORENZO Emotion
Freedom becomes a symphony.
LORENZO EMOTION · BLACK & WHITE
Freedom becomes a symphony.
Lorenzo Emotion · Black & White
Twelve horses at liberty. An equestrian symphony. Born from an exploration of freedom, Lorenzo Emotion has grown into a performance in which power becomes poetry. Black and white horses tell a shared story, shaped by the trust of a lifetime.
The formations open, cross and regroup with extraordinary fluidity. Calm gives way to acceleration, stillness to momentum. Each passage reveals a new balance between the strength of the group and Lorenzo’s presence.
Freedom becomes a symphony. One line opens and another answers; black-and-white contrasts lend the movement striking depth. The audience discovers choreography that is alive, precise and deeply moving.
PRECISION · FLUIDITY · HARMONY
Communication that becomes almost invisible.
Behind this apparent simplicity lie thousands of hours of shared experience and work. Gestures become discreet, the communication almost invisible. The horses take the spotlight: they are the true stars of the performance.
The High Jump, the Solo, Piano and Accordion formations, and the Flags bring contrast, moments of stillness and spectacular highlights. Lorenzo shapes the transitions so that precision never overshadows emotion.
Around twenty minutes, with twelve horses at liberty. The repertoire continues to grow without losing its identity. It has also brought sixteen horses together; today’s format preserves its impact while fitting the life of a touring show.
From the plains of the Camargue to international arenas, Lorenzo shares the work of a life devoted to horses. Audiences come to admire a performance and discover a relationship too: the strength, trust and poetry of the bond.
A few signature figures
Discover a selection of the many figures Lorenzo has created and continues to develop.
AN ORIGINAL CREATION · 1993
The High Jump · A story of flight
The horses pass beneath the bar. Lorenzo flies above it. He lands standing on their backs, without breaking the flow of the gallop. Created in 1993, the High Jump helped shape the image of “The Flying Frenchman”.
First performed with three horses abreast, it evolved to four: two in front and two carrying Lorenzo behind. In 2006, Roubia and Raiana brought a new dimension to the figure: two horses at liberty, without reins. The same flight, sustained by a different kind of trust.
A NEW COMPOSITION · 2021
High Jump PAF
One leap becomes a shared composition. Lorenzo clears the central bar while the horses on either side jump their own obstacles. The figure was first presented on 7 August 2021 in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.
Four lateral horses, two on each side, frame the flight in this photograph. The creation also evolves with up to six lateral horses. Paths, timing and confidence bring the separate leaps together into one image.
Double High Jump · A signature
Created for Equitana in March 2025, the Double High Jump links two successive flights, with a landing on the horses between them. Below: the sequence in Lunel.
ORIGINAL CREATION · BLACK & WHITE
The Piano · Every horse has a place
The horses weave head to tail, black alternating with white like the keys of a piano. Every horse has a place; every transition reveals a new arrangement of colours.
Also called the Comb in the book, the figure makes the movement itself visible. The line opens, the colours exchange places and another formation emerges. This search for transitions and contrasts helped give Lorenzo Emotion · Black & White its identity: a choreography that is as striking to see as it is moving to feel.

The Solo · Like an accordion
After the head-to-tail crossing, the horses move calmly one behind another in a serpentine line. Like an accordion unfolding, the line stretches and curves. Each horse adjusts its pace to preserve the shape: a flowing composition inspired by the horses themselves.
AN ORIGINAL CREATION · 2014
The Flags · An idea takes flight
In 2014, Lorenzo spotted flags backstage, picked up two and improvised a lap of the arena. A spontaneous gesture became a creation: above the horses at liberty, colour opened a new space.
From 2015, jumping added another dimension. Over the years the figure grew through new formations, horses holding still and others in motion. The flags can carry the colours of an event, a country or Lorenzo’s native Camargue.

The Flags · The jump between the horses
Lorenzo jumps in the centre while the horses on either side remain still on the platforms. The flags extend his movement: stillness frames the leap, creating a striking contrast at the heart of the scene.

P12 · Twelve horses abreast
Twelve horses unfold a single line. Black and white, collective momentum and precision: the formation reveals the scale of Lorenzo’s liberty work. This photograph by Heini Heitz captures it in the Camargue.
TWELVE HORSES · ONE LINE
Black & White, in the arena
Six white horses, six black horses, no reins. From one edge of the line to the other, each horse keeps its place while the group moves as one. All twelve are visible here in performance: the full breadth of Lorenzo’s work at liberty.
These are just a few of the many figures and transitions that make up Lorenzo Emotion · Black & White, a living repertoire that continues to grow.
TWELVE HORSES · THE JUMP
One line, one shared momentum
The twelve horses carry the formation over an obstacle. Six white horses and six black horses, moving at liberty: the line rises, stretches and finds its rhythm again. Every horse has a place in the composition.
Two acts. One complete experience.

Action and Emotion, united in one show
Power captivates the eye. Poetry touches the heart.
The impact of Action
Speed, balance, adrenaline: Lorenzo Action captures the audience from the first seconds. Formations, crossings and obstacles give your event a spectacular first highlight.
The depth of Emotion
Then the horses at liberty reveal another world. Precision becomes almost invisible, formations breathe and the bond takes centre stage. Lorenzo Emotion extends the spectacle into a moving encounter.
In one evening, as two distinct acts, Action and Emotion complement each other. The adrenaline of the first amplifies the poetry of the second; the gentleness of the second reveals the strength of the first. This contrast creates a compelling progression and gives audiences a complete experience of Lorenzo’s world.
