The Youth Center in Los Alamitos recently took participants on a trip to Cavalia’s Odysseo show. “I do not really know what else to say but WOW,” said Elise Chalfant, one of the 20 participants who went on this fun trip. “The show started … it was spectacular!”
“It really is a must see,” said The Youth Center Executive Director, Lina Lumme. “The bond between horse and owner is amazing. Everyone who went on a trip with us was in awe the whole time!”
The internationally acclaimed Cavalia pushes the limits of live entertainment with its newest production that is now touring the globe. Odysseo is a theatrical experience, an ode to horse and man that marries the equestrian arts with awe inspiring acrobatics and high-tech theatrical effects. Set under a 38-meter tall white big top, audiences are transported around the world as more than 50 horses and international cast demonstrate their intimate bond. The 1,393 square meter stage features a real carousel and a magically appearing 302,000-litre lake in front of a stunning video backdrop (which is the size of three IMAX screens). Odysseo is a two-hour dream that moves the heart and touches the soul. It is an evening the audience will never forget.
