Odysseo: Larger Than Life
The horse has marked human history
and progress more than any other
animal. Horses have taken us to the ends
of the earth, enabled us to build bridges
between cultures and expand civilization.
It is the beauty and harmony of this
ancient relationship, this meeting of two
worlds – those of horse and man – that
inspired the creators of Cavalia’s second
show, Odysseo. As friends, partners and
inseparable performers on stage, 63 horses
and 46 artists lead the viewer on a great
journey in yet another world – a world of
dreams – where, together, they discover
some of the planet’s most unforgettable
landscapes.

With this new creation, Cavalia marries
the equestrian arts, stage arts and hightech theatrical effects at never-beforeseen levels. A veritable revolution in live
performance, Odysseo comprises a list of
superlatives: the world’s largest touring big
top, the biggest stage, the most beautiful
visual effects, and the greatest number of
horses at liberty.
The creators of this new ode to the
horse made the decision to indulge their
wildest artistic ambitions. Their gamble
paid off: Odysseo pushes the limits of live
entertainment by creating a larger-thanlife show that sends hearts racing, but it
is also a feast for the eyes that succeeds in
delivering the spectacular with soul.
