Big news here over at HOYT! We’re very excited to be among the corporate sponsors helping bring Cavalia, an impressive orchestration of equestrian and performing arts, to the Pearl District this fall. The show, which is scheduled to start November 16, 2011 and run through December 04, 2011, will be located in the North part of the Pearl, at NW 12th and Quimby.
Cavalia was created by Normand Latourelle, one of the co-founders of Cirque du Soleil. The production features 39 acrobats, aerialists, dancers, musicians, riders, as well as 42 horses from around the world.

This Tuesday, Cavalia’s famed “Big Top” tent will go up in the Pearl. Standing 110 feet tall and spanning more than 26,000 square feet, it’s the largest touring tent in the world. It features a 160-foot wide stage, which gives the horses plenty of space to gallop at full speed.
Cavalia has performed across Europe and in 41 cities across North America, including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Las Vegas and Toronto. We’re honored to support a show of this magnitude right here in our very own neighborhood!
If you’re unfamiliar with the show, check out the video below. It will give you a sense for the show’s central theme: humankind’s longstanding relationship with the horse, and how this has evolved over time.
Are you as excited to see the show as we are? You’ll find details about the show, and online ticket sales, on Cavalia’s website.
This looks so awesome! I can’t wait to see the tents go up in the Pearl and hope I get a chance to see the show!
Hi Sara, have you gone down to the check out the tents? The site looks amazing!
