To round-up its Tsjaikovski’s trilogy, United Cowboys decided to create an intimate, personal yet monumental performance based on the Sleeping Beauty. Under the title Thorny Rose Hedge – History of the Times gone United Cowboys will artistically explore the softness and romantic notions of a rose against the unexpected harshness of its thorns. These are contradictions and contrasts United Cowboys can and seeks to work with.
