Cirque du Soleil is famed for revolutionizing circus spectacle. The same could also be said of Cavalia, a multimedia and circus spectacular that brings the latest technology and effects to traditional European horse pageants. See just how Cavalia co-founder and artistic director Norman Latourelle applies his past Cirque du Soleil experience on this new touring equine enterprise. Cavalia continues its high-tech horseplay in its custom white tent at the intersection of Jackson and Racine in the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago. Performances are at 8 p.m. July 16-18 and 21-25; 3 p.m. July 18 and 25; and 2 p.m. July 19 and 26. Tickets are $45.50-$89.50; call 866-999-8111 or visit www.cavalia.net. Photo courtesy of Cavalia
