Gladius - The Show is a high-energy live performance rooted in advanced horsemanship and aerial artistry. Founded by former Cavalia cast members Erik Martonovich and Alethea Shelton, the production centers around their vaulting, horsemanship, and a 90-minute touring experience featuring approximately 15 performers and 22 horses. The show blends athletic vaulting, roman riding, aerial stunts, and controlled fire to deliver a visually striking narrative. The original rock score was composed by Kevin Curry, adding a rhythmic backbone to the performances.
