CAVALIA RIDES INTO TORONTO MAY 15th
WITH AN ALL-NEW CREATION:
ODYSSEO
Toronto premiere staged under the biggest-ever touring Big Top at the Port Lands
• Tickets on sale now
TORONTO - Cavalia, whose horse-and-human production received standing ovations and critical acclaim in Toronto in 2003 and 2005, today announced the premiere of an all-new, larger-than-life production,
Odysseo, on May 15, 2012. The only Canadian stop on its triumphant North American tour, Odysseo will be performed under the world's largest, most spectacular Big Top tent at Toronto's Port Lands. Tickets are available starting this Saturday at www.cavalia.net or by calling 1-866-999-8111.
"The horse has played a greater role in human history and progress than any other animal. Horses have taken us to the ends of the earth, enabled us to build bridges between cultures and expand civilization. It is the beauty and harmony of this ancient relationship, this meeting of horse and man, that inspires Odysseo," said Normand Latourelle, Founder and Artistic Director of Cavalia.
As friends, partners and inseparable performers on stage, 70 horses and 50 artists lead the audience on a great journey to another world - a world of dreams where together, they discover some of the planet's most unforgettable landscapes. Cavalia has created a stage the size of two hockey rinks for the epic Odysseo, in the middle of which rise two hills, each three storeys tall and a lake where human and horse come to play.
Above the stage hangs a technical grid capable of supporting 80 tons of lighting and projection equipment, far beyond anything attempted on any touring show.
"With this new creation, Cavalia marries the equestrian arts, stage arts and high-tech theatrical effects at never-before-seen levels. We've created a veritable revolution in live performance: the world's largest touring big top, the biggest stage, the most beautiful visual effects, and the greatest number of horses at play. Most importantly, it's a world of happiness," Latourelle continued.
The creators of this new ode to the horse made the decision to indulge their wildest artistic ambitions. And Cavalia's gamble has paid off: Odysseo pushes the limits of live entertainment by creating a two-hour dream -- a feast for the eyes that succeeds in delivering the spectacular with soul.
A huge hit wherever it's played, reviews have been unanimously glowing.
