Cavalia comes to Houston

If you've been along Richmond in the Galleria area lately, you've probably noticed the commotion involving a huge tent and other construction.

The tent will house Cavalia, which opens on January 24. Here's KUHF-88.7's description of the event:

The biggest touring tent in North America is now up in the Galleria area. The 110-foot tall Big Top houses the adventurous and innovative production of Cavalia.

Acrobats, aerialists, riders and horses will perform in the 26,000 square-foot Big Top. Normand Latourelle is the president and artistic director behind Cavalia. He was also one of the co-founders of Cirque du Soleil.

"We are as modern as Cirque du Soleil. But the difference is we have horses."
Latrourelle started working with horses only ten years ago. He considers the animal the most beautiful creature on stage.

"You don't need to put a costume to a horse, you don't need to do make-up to a horse. Just looking at horse, having fun and playing with trainer to me is just a gift from the sky."

The show depicts the relationship between horses and humans.

More information is available via the press release and the Cavalia site.
