World of Dreams and Fantasies
The dream begins in a misty,
enchanted forest where horses graze and
frolic under a sky of rolling clouds and a
setting sun. Horses, riders, acrobats and
musicians embark on a soulful journey
that leads them from the Mongolian
steppes to Monument Valley, from the
African savannah to Nordic glaciers, from
the Sahara to Easter Island.
Throughout this grand voyage,
spectators discover urban stilters and
applaud the prowess of a troupe of African
acrobats. Viewers are mesmerized by
horses powering angelic aerialists in a
four-person silks act that takes them into
the skies. To the sound of an African
harp called a Kora, audiences witness the
beauty of 15 horses lying on sand dunes
awaken. They will likewise appreciate the
beautiful liberty number, uniting purebred
Arabian horses directed by inaudible vocal
commands from their kneeling trainer.
The scenes follow the seasons and
their attendant wonders. At times, the
horses and people in this fabulous caravan
become too numerous to count.
The Odysseo epic wraps up with
a fantastic crescendo as the stage is
inundated with 300,000 litres of water in
just a few minutes. A vertiginous virtual
waterfall overhangs the resulting lake, in
which horses, riders and artists join to
frolic, leaving behind them the traces of
their splashes and an astonished audience.
