‘Gallops Down Under for The First Time’
Have you booked your tickets? The Internationally acclaimed
theatrical production Cavalia ‘Gallops Down Under for The
First Time’. So successful in Brisbane the Sydney season has
been extended to June 2, 2013.
Combining the talents of 36 world-class acrobatics, high-flying
aerialists and musicians with a cast of 44 horses, Cavalia is the
brainchild of Cirque Du Soleil co-founder Normand Latourelle.
“We are thrilled to announce our first ever Australian tour and
it is an honour to bring this show, an idea that started in Canada,
on the other side of the world, to a country which has such a great
affinity with both the performing arts and the horse,” said Normand
Latourelle, Founder and Artistic Director of Cavalia. “Having
travelled half the globe, the art of Cavalia is truly a universal language
and we can’t wait for Australians to experience its magic.”
A Magical Encounter Between Human and Horse

second-largest touring tent in the world – surpassed only by the
one housing Cavalia’s sister production, Odysseo.
Ticket prices start from $44 to $325 + fees. Special

even for non-horsey folk” San Francisco Examiner
A show unlike any other, Cavalia celebrates the relationship
between humans and horses, virtually reinventing the equestrian
arts. The two-hour show is a feast for the eyes. It is advised to
be alert and ready to view aerialist’s performances along with
the horses beneath.
In Cavalia, horses cavort with the many artists in front of
a constantly changing digital background projected onto a
60 metre-wide screen, drawing spectators into dream-like
virtual environments. Unlike traditional horse shows, Cavalia’s
audience faces a single 50 metre-wide stage which allows the
horses space to gallop at full speed, at times running completely
free, unfettered by bridles or halters. Cavalia takes place under
