ODYSSEO – CAVALIA UNDER THE BIG TOP
Odysseo is a spellbinding multi-million dollar show under the artistic direction of Normand Latourelle, a pioneer of Cirque du Soleil from 1985 to 1990. Proceeds of the opening night of this production will be all in benefit of the Herbie Fund.
Odysseo is a journey into the imagination, a voyage through space and time, and an exploration of nature's greatest wonders – deserts, waterfalls, canyons, glaciers and more. It's a renewed tribute to the relationship humans and horses have forged over thousands of years.
The door to your dream opens as soon as you enter the Big Top - the largest one of its kind in the world. The Odysseo Big Top is a spectacular feat of architectural design. It is over twice as big as the structure created for Cavalia's original production, and the space has been entirely redefined to bring to life the mesmerizing vision of the show's creators even more vividly. Before the show even begins, you will be drawn into the mystery of an enchanted three-dimensional forest, which gradually comes alive under a sky of moving clouds. This is your invitation to marvel at nature's greatest wonders, without ever leaving your seat.
Through a symphony of colours and emotions, a series of wonders will unfold. In this intimate yet grandiose setting, humans and horses live in harmony. Surrounded by awe-inspiring images and accompanied by live music, horses and artists – acrobats, dancers, musicians and riders - will take you on a journey to a world where dreams and reality intertwine.
Herbie Fund is thrilled to be part of this awe inspiring production.
