This open-air show takes place in a life-size setting recreating a street in a town in the American West. This world transports the audience into the harsh life of Westerns.
I was given the role of one of the four Daltons. It was essential to know how to ride a horse. Rehearsals focused on learning this skill, and the result was perfect harmony and understanding between man and animal.
The numerous scenes on horseback in the role of Grat Dalton (Averell from the comic book) with fake weapons but real gunshots really immersed the audience in the desired Western atmosphere.
