Entertainment:


Last night Erci took me to see Cavalia which is playing for one more week next to Pentagon City Mall. It is a magical combination of horses (a lot of stallions), horsemanship, dressage, trapeze, gymnastics, tumbling, art, fantasy, and hauntingly beautiful music. It is perhaps not quite as impressive as many of the Cirque du Soleil shows I have seen, but in other ways, even more impressive. To get the focus and cooperation of so many fine horses is amazing. So where a Cirque show broadens my definition of humanity, this show broadens my understanding of how well humans can work with horses. If you like either Cirque style shows or horses, you should consider trying to get to your local showing of Cavalia.
