Cavalia

If you’re in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area – it’s pretty hard to not be curious about Cavalia.  My husband and I started seeing the billboards all over the place around Labor Day – and wondered… What *IS* Cavalia?  When is it?  The billboards pretty much leave it all up for you to do the research.

Cavalia is a show – A French equestrian and performing arts show.  And it is really. cool. to see.

Cavalia is a fresh mix of equestrian and performing arts, multimedia and special effects. Conceived by Normand Latourelle and often labeled an equestrian ballet, Cavalia is a spectacular and moving tribute to the relationship between men and horses throughout history, a dream of freedom, cooperation and harmony. In a fairy tale setting filled with poetry and emotion, the show innovatively integrates acrobatics, dance, aerial stunts, live music and equestrian arts. Under the largest Big Top on earth, a 50-meter stage permits the horses to express themselves in all their splendor, nobility and strength, often completely free.

 

There are only a few Cavalia Performances in Minneapolis left!  October 30th is their last performance here, and then they’re moving on to Portland, Oregon.

I managed to nab a few tickets for my husband and I – and we went last night.  We had a great time, and really enjoyed the performances.  They’re so unique and different than what you might expect!  The horses are amazing – and the things the trainers are able to do with them is spectacular!

    I have been dying to get tickets since I heard about the show, but simply cannot afford it. I would bring my boyfriend. Thank you for the opportunity, Amy 🙂

  4. Gina Sigrist says

    I would love to go, I absolutely love horses and have never been to a show like this or circus and definitely could not afford to go to this. I would take my husband who has been fascinated with the tent and bill boards since they appeared.

  6. Marta says

    OMG I would love to win! I would definitely take my son with me. He’s 4.5 and I think he would LOVE it. At least I would for sure.

  7. Jen S. says

    I would take one of my 9 yr old twin cousins as a special treat! There’s been a lot going on in her and her twin’s life lately, and this would be an awesome escape for her!

  10. jolyn b says

    I would love to go with my best friend Shannon! She doesn’t get out much with twin two year olds!!!

  14. Jennifer says

    I am undecided who I would take…my son willingly..or force my boyfriend. Thats a tough one.

  15. Vanessa C. says

    I’m too far to attend but I’d gift both tickets to my best friend and her husband, she LOVES horses and they live in Minneapolis.
    She just survived ICU earlier this year and I’d love to send her something special so she can get out now that the storm has passed, this would be perfect.

  16. Catherine Hansen says

    I would take my husband. We haven’t been to anything adult like and entertaining in close to 9 years ago when we saw Blue Man Group in Vegas! We use to do fun “metro” things and now we go to the hockey rink and the baseball diamond! Our boys take 99.99% of our time and I WANT A DATE WITH MY HUSBAND! 🙂

  24. Shelly Blair says

    I would bring my daughter Kristie who has always loved horses since she was alitle girl….she is now 26 yrs old and would love it!

  25. Jones says

    This would be an awesome opportunity I think my whole family would love to see before they leave. Can’t wait to see who wins!

  26. sarah says

    I would bring my boyfriend, he has been talking about wanting to go see that show since before it opened 😉 I would love to surprise him with tickets!

  27. MEG says

    I’d take my husband to celebrate what would have been my 10th anniversary with my ex-husband. Trust me, I did MUCH better the second time around!

  29. Kimberly M says

    Thanks for doing the research! I’d actually give them to my mom to go with her friend to see the show. I saw the billboards all over Minneapolis when I went back to see the family over Labor Day weekend and wondered what it was all about. Glad to hear they will be coming out here to the West Coast next – maybe I can catch them when they are in town!

  30. Elisabeth says

    Hey Amy! I would love to “win” the tickets and take my hubby Darius. It’s his 32nd birthday! 🙂

  31. Nicole says

    I would absloutely love to see Cavalia. My boyfriend and I just had our one year anniversary last week and we would love to go to this but it is a little pricey for our budget right now as we just moved. Would love to get the oppurtunity to see this!

  36. April says

    If I won, I would give them to my friend Jen Jamar. Not only is she an awesome wife and mother, but 3 years ago, my 8 month old puppy broke her neck and had to have a very expensive surgery and follow up (she is very healthy and happy now… Surgery went perfect!). To help with the cost, Jen organized a benefit for Juno, a costume party, prizes to be raffled, and raised about $1300 to go towards Juno’s medical bills. I have never had the opportunity to “pay” Jen back for all she has done, and winning these tickets, to give to her, would be so appreciated 🙂 PS, if I could post a picture of my happy “miracle” puppy, I would 🙂

  37. Lolu Allison says

    Since I’m in California, I would gift it to my parents. My mom is a recent cancer survivor and in July just had double knee replacement. My father has been her absolute rock and hasn’t had the time to go out and do something great with his wife. Money is a lil tight and I know they would appreciate it a lot. She loves shows and I know she will simply adore those horses. Fingers crossed!

  38. Jo says

    If I won, I would take my friend Jen. She has been so helpful and supportive to me during some pretty significant postpartum mood disorder issues. Money is really tight for us right now and this would be a good chance for me to say thank you to her.

  40. Amanda says

    If I won, I would take my friend Jen Jamar. She has always been such a caring and giving person, whether it is for a friend, family member, or animal. She is an awesome mom to both her son Levi, and all her furbabies. I would love to “pay it forward.”

  42. Kiersta says

    I would definitely take Jen Jamar. Not only did she throw an AMAZING benefit for my best friends dog who had a broken neck (see above), but also, she’d bake me cookies 🙂

  45. Heather Van Horn says

    I would either take my 11 year old daughter or my 51 year old mother, both have been working hard at what they do and deserve a fun break.

  47. Lori says

    Jen Jamar. She threw a wonderful fundraiser for my daughters puppy and this would be a great thank you!!!!

  55. Becky says

    Definitely Jen Jamar! The fundraiser she threw for my sisters puppy was incredible. And she did it out of the kindness of her heart!

  56. Angie says

    After the benefit Jen Jamr threw for my step daughters dog, Juno, that shows what a giving person she is. They were merely acquaintances when Jen put a beautiful fundraiser together. She deserves these tickets. What an amazing woman!
