About this Event
Following the powerful success of Equus in Manhattan, ESSENCE Theatre presents Kholstomer: The History of a Horse — a bold and visually striking stage adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s timeless story, known to English-speaking audiences as The Strider.
After a sold-out run in New York, this acclaimed production returns for a limited engagement.
Blending physical theatre, contemporary movement, and an original musical score, Kholstomer creates a raw and immersive experience where actors transform the stage into a living, breathing world.
Told through the eyes of a horse, the story explores identity, freedom, and the nature of ownership — revealing powerful truths about the human condition.
Performed in English | 1 hour 40 minutes (no intermission)
Limited seating — previous run sold out
