“We are thrilled to announce our first ever Asian tour and it is an honor to bring this show, an idea that started in Canada, to a region which has such a great affinity with the performing arts and during the auspicious year of the horse as per the Chinese Zodiac,” said Normand Latourelle, Founder and Artistic Director of Cavalia. “Having travelled the globe, the art of Cavalia is truly a universal language and we can't wait for Singaporeans to experience its magic.”
Cavalia is a lavish production involving 50 magnificent horses and featuring 43 riders, aerialists, acrobats, dancers and musicians from all over the world. A show unlike any other, Cavalia is a harmonious celebration of beauty and nature, encompassing imagery that whisks the spectator’s imagination around the earth over land and sea by displaying a vast array of equestrian and performing arts. Supported by state-of-the-art multimedia, Cavalia can be described as an epic adventure, a fantastic demonstration of horsemanship that transports the audience into virtual atmospheres. Enjoyed by more than 4 million spectators across the world, Cavalia virtually reinvents the equestrian arts.
Delightful, thrilling and poignant, Cavalia explores humankind’s longstanding relationship with the horse. Cavalia’s horse training is based upon a philosophy of understanding horses, rather than making horses understand the humans around them. The tone of the show, embraced by the entire company, is one of mutual respect, kindness, patience, and trust. Audiences have found Cavalia exhilarating in scope, yet touching in the compassion shown by both horse and human.
