Cavalia returns to Toronto with their equine fantasy show Odysseo until May 10, 2015

Cavalia’s Odysseo returns to the Portlands in Toronto after its stunning debut back in 2012. The spectacle performance fuses the circus artistry of Cirque du Soleil (where one of Cirque’s founding members Normand Latourelle was also the founder for Cavalia back in 2003) with equestrian skills and plenty of horses — 70 of them from 14 different species to be exact. Paired with the horses are 45 performers including musicians, acrobats, aerialists, dancers and musicians and all of whom have worked together to create visually stunning and breathtaking scenes. Keep reading under the cut for sneak preview.

Cavalia’s Odysseo runs from April 8 until May 10 2015 at the Toronto Portlands. Tickets are available online or by calling the box office 1 (866) 999-8111. The box office is open from 8 am until 10 pm.
