Jersey's Meadowlands Extends CAVALIA Through 7/5

CAVALIA, originally scheduled to run at New Jersey's Meadowlands until June 20, will now run until July 5, the show's official website announces. Tickets for the remaining performances can be purchased by calling 1-866-999-8111, by visiting www.cavalia.net, or by visiting the box office at the Meadowlands Sports Complex, 50 State Route 120, East Rutherford, New Jersey.

CAVALIA is a grand-scale spectacle involving acrobatics, live music, projected images and more than 100 performers, including a troupe of 60 magnificent horses from all over the world. Under the White Big Top at the Meadowlands, CAVALIA pays tribute to the harmony between horse and man.

CAVALIA was created by Cirque du Soleil co-founder Normand Latourelle. "My passion in life is to make people dream. When I first introduced Cirque at Battery Park in 1988, I always wished I could return and introduce something new to the New York area. CAVALIA took nearly 10 years to conceive and I am thrilled to present this one-of-a-kind show."

CAVALIA is not just a show for horse-lovers: it is a lavish orchestration of multimedia, equestrian and performing arts designed to entertain people of all ages and backgrounds. Under the world's largest touring Big Top, which rises 100 feet above the ground and spans more than 26,264 feet, 60 of the most magnificent creatures on the planet will express themselves in all their beauty, grace and strength on a 160-foot wide stage. While the horses gallop and cavort and, at times, run free completely unbridled, the show incorporates acrobatics, original live music and stunning special and lighting effects to create a dreamlike setting.

Across North America and Europe, CAVALIA has enthralled audiences and been praised by critics for its captivating and unique experience.

CAVALIA explores humankind's long relationship with the horse. Juxtaposed with the vibrancy of the lavish production is a subtle thematic line that takes audiences through the evolution of horses and our interaction: from unbridled life in the wilderness, to early domestication, and ultimately to a relationship with human beings based on freedom and mutual respect.
