How is Cavalia connected to Cirque du Soleil?
Cavalia was created by Normand Latourelle, who was involved with Cirque du Soleil during its early years. Cavalia is a separate Canadian company built around horses, riders, acrobats, dancers, and large-scale theatrical staging.
What was the difference between Cavalia and Odysseo?
The original Cavalia production debuted in 2003 as an encounter between humans and horses. Odysseo was a later, larger production with a much bigger stage, extensive projections, changing landscapes, water effects, and dozens of horses.
Were Cavalia's horses performing conventional circus tricks?
The productions combined dressage, liberty work, trick riding, Roman riding, and choreographed interaction between horses and human performers. Liberty sequences were distinctive because horses performed together without being controlled by visible reins.
Did Cavalia perform in permanent theaters?
Cavalia was primarily a touring production presented under custom-built white big tops rather than in one permanent venue. The company transported the stage, stables, technical equipment, performers, and horses between host cities.
