It started with a Q&A. How many horses are there in Cavalia’s stable? Raise your hands to “vote” for the right answer. I won’t tell you the answer, but the enthusiastic crowd wasn’t shy to raise their hands for the most likely ones.
The horses are truly majestic, with their trust and understanding of their riders a joy to behold. A few of them ran freely around the stage, giving us a glimpse into the nobility and grace in nature that we tend to forget, given the concrete jungle many of us know.
Billed as a circus act, I was surprised by the quality of music and comedy on show. The opening songstress’ voice was incredible, setting the standard for the entire performance; the physical comedy employed by the actors (exaggerated actions and all) was effective at getting the audience to laugh, enhancing the atmosphere. Cavalia merges fantasy and power into a night to remember.
Two things you’ll have to watch out for: when Troubadour the miniature horse gets his 10 seconds of fame in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo, and when the stage starts getting terraformed towards the grand finale.
My only complaint with the experience is a lack of legroom, but you won’t time to worry about that when all your attention is focused on the magnificent performances on stage.
