The Hype is real – Cavalia’s Odysseo is a must see.

It is not often that I will leave a performance or a play and have very little to say, but Cavalia’s Odysseo did that tonight.  The performance was one the best I have seen.

For my local friends, you may have noticed the large white tents set up on Route 90 and heard about the excitement surrounding the show, well I can tell you first hand….THIS IS AN AWESOME SHOW.

As we got to sit back and watch the marvellous and majestic horses along side the people and trainers I was simply in awe of what I was seeing.  To see such grace and elegance – unbelievable, breathtaking and beautiful show. The live music they had along side the horses and the performers simply added to the wonder this show gave.

Even the acrobats on stage showed such grace and precision that left you in wonder.  True strength demonstrated in elegant and fragile ways.  And the touch of Africa elements with crowd participation made my heart warm as they shared the desire for peace.

You could feel the energy the performers were give to the crowd as they channeled the horses to make you wonder how such a large animal could preform with such grace.

Yes everyone, the hype about this show is all true.  The intimate setting makes this for such a wonderful experience that everyone should see.  In town till the 18th of October, you still have time to see this once in a lifetime show!
