Horse spectacle Cavalia riding to Beijing

Normand Latourelle and his Canadian entertainment company, Cirque du Soleil, have toured globally for more than a decade with shows that were watched by millions.

In April, he will debut his multimedia production, Cavalia: A Magical Encounter Between Human and Horse, in Beijing.

Involving more than 40 horses and 40 riders, and aerialists, acrobats, dancers and musicians, the show is a tribute to the bond that exists between the animal and people.
