The Marvel of Cavalia:: Review

 

It's not every day you get to marvel. In fact, I think as you get older, and as life gets trickier and seemingly faster, you lose the ability to marvel as a child does.To be transported back to childlike place, where you sit gaping in awe and marvelling at how incredible life is. It's a good place to be. 

This week I was so very lucky enough to be invited to see Cavalia.

The best word I can think of to describe it is marvellous. I cheered, I clapped, I cried. It was that beautiful. I marvelled.

Not only the creativity and sheer skill, but relationship between horse and rider - it was tangible. You could see the mutual adoration. On top of that, the strength. I sat there, my jaw dropped, transfixed. And then add that these adults have shunned the perpetuated norms of society, and run away and joined the circus. What artful joy! I never wanted it to end.

It felt like a dream - and I am so grateful for having it. 

Could Cavalia have invoked an epiphany for me? Gosh, I hope so.

Last night I felt like I was in The Princess Bride. And Willow. And Lord of the Rings. It is that magical. 

The show sweeps you off your feet and into another world. I never want to come back.
 
We were treated to a behind-the-scenes tour of the stables. Now I want a pony. And a farm. And to get the heck out of Sydney and live a horsey life riding bareback and doing stunts - that's the life for me!

If you can - go see it. For the sheer dream fuel. For the beauty. And for me, to inspire me to exercise more so I can do a hand stand, on a horse, cantering.

You'll like it: If you want your breath taken away - to be transfixed by the sheer beauty of our equine friends, and the art, grace and humour of the performers.

When? Now until June 16

Disclosure: I attended the show as a guest of Cavalia. I had no obligation to blog about it. BUT I loved it so freaking much I had to tell you about it.  I will only tell you about products/experiences that I genuinely love. Honesty is after all the best policy. I went, I loved it, I wanted to share.
