People behind the production
Cheval Theatre Circus was notable for its ensemble of roughly 27 performers, including acrobats and musicians, and a stable of around 30 horses. The Montreal premiere ran from May 16 to June 3, 2001, setting the stage for a broader North American tour planned to begin in August 2001, with stops in multiple U.S. cities. The show drew coverage from major outlets such as the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and Christian Science Monitor, highlighting its unique fusion of equestrian prowess, live sound, and theatrical production. In 2002, it received the Award of Technical Merit from the Canadian Institute for Theatre Technology (CITT) for its craftsmanship and technical achievement. While current touring activity and social media status are not verified, Cheval Theatre Circus remains a significant reference point for modern horse theatre and touring performance art.
