Following sold-out extended runs in Toronto, Montreal, San Francisco, Glendale, and Del Mar -- "Cavalia: A Magical Encounter Between Horse and Man" will make its return to Southern California at the Santa Monica Pier. Taking place under North America’s largest touring tent, Cavalia is a multi-media experience where horses move with acrobats, aerialists, and entertainers in front of a constantly changing background of virtual settings, projected on a 200 ft wide screen.

In Cavalia, horses cavort with acrobats, aerialists and riders in front of a constantly changing background projected on a 200-ft. wide screen, transporting spectators to dream-like virtual settings. Infused with live music and vocals, the show also features the talents of acclaimed European “horse-whisperer” Frédéric Pignon and his wife, exceptional trainer and rider Magali Delgado, who bring an approach to its equine stars marked by kindness and complicity. The audience faces a single, 160-ft. wide stage which allows the horses space to gallop at full speed, at times completely unfettered by bridles or halters. This expansive sensibility is emphasized by the show’s execution under North America’s largest touring tent – a white, 26,264-sq. ft. big top rising some 100 feet high.
