Caught the Dec 19th show of Cavalia's Odysso in Vancouver. Beautiful and vaaary impressive. I also really enjoyed the interactive multiple choice quiz at the beginning of the show.
The performers both human and equine made so much of it look easy that one did not readily see the craft behind the art. With minimal experience and knowledge of horses it was fun if a tad distracting at time to have the very informative running commentary behind as people ohhhd and ahhd at the control they had of the horses and the mad skills displayed by the acrobats.
While it did not detract from my enjoyment of the show I did notice the colour line between the African\Caribbean acrobat performers on the ground and the European performers on horse back.
All in all, I think it was time and money well spent. I was thrilled by the beauty and spectacle of the horses and I appreciated the artistry and skill of the human performers. What stops this being a 5 star review is the story line was so ethereal and esoteric I did not discern if from the performance but from the literature afterwards. If they come back next year I will more than likely go again :-)
