Cavalia January 19, 2010

Miami will experience what those in Europe, Canada, and U.S. cities including Washington D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Boston have been astounded by the extravagant multimedia equestrian celebration of senses that is Cavalia. Guests who attend the show will “ooh” and “ahh” in amazement at the beauty of the more than 60 4-legged artists in this eclectic cast. Crowds will cheer and rise in their seats during the incredible performances of some 40 2-legged artists, including acrobats, aerialists, riders, musicians and dancers. From January 19 – January 31, under the White Big Top at Bicentennial Park in Downtown Miami an exquisite, fast-paced, unforgettable 120 minute performance featuring the harmony between horse and man will find its home.

This spectacular production was created by Cirque du Soleil co-founder, Normand Latourelle, and is often compared to Cirque for the way it revolutionizes equestrian and performing arts, much like Cirque revolutionized the circus. Cavalia will stop in Miami, as it makes the rounds to major cities on its North American tour, after touring in Europe for two years. “Miami is a vibrant, international city,” says Normand Latourelle, Cavalia founder and artistic director. “It’s only natural that we would bring the show here as the city has always been so open and welcoming. We are excited to reveal Cavalia and hope that Miami will appreciate and embrace its magic.”

Cavalia is not just a show for horse-lovers. Nor is it a show just for Cirque-fanatics. It is a lavish orchestration of multimedia, equestrian and performing arts designed to astound and entertain people of all ages and backgrounds. Under the world’s largest touring Big Top, which rises 100 feet above ground and spans more than 26,264 feet, 60 of the most magnificent creatures on the planet will express themselves in all their beauty, grace and strength on a 160-foot wide stage. While the horses gallop and cavort and, at times, run free completely unbridled, the show will incorporate unbelievable acrobatics, original live music and stunning special and lighting effects to create a dreamlike setting, making it apparent to see why this show has become a global sensation.
