In Cavalia, horses cavort with the many artists in front of a constantly changing digital background projected onto a 200-ft.wide screen, drawing spectators into dream-like virtual environments. Unlike traditional horse shows in the round, Cavalia's audience faces a single 160-foot-wide stage which allows the horses space to gallop at full speed, at times running completely free, unfettered by bridles or halters. Cavalia takes place under a white, 26,264-square-foot big top rising some 100 feet high that gives the horses an ample playground to perform with their trainers and artists.
