Cavalluna – Grand Moments

📅 Saturday, February 8 – Sunday, February 9, 2025 | 📍 St. Jakobshalle Basel

 

🐴 About the Event
CAVALLUNA is back – enchanting the audience with a breathtaking show that reinterprets the most beautiful moments from previous years and weaves in spectacular new scenes. “CAVALLUNA – Grand Moments” is a firework of emotions that fascinates, touches, and amazes both young and old.

Around 60 horses and the best riders from Europe, together with a high-class dance company, captivate the audience, supported by emotional music and impressive light and special effects. Experience a journey through dazzling show worlds and enjoy outstanding equestrian art, breathtaking scenery, and a heartwarming story.

 

📜 The Story
The story tells of the aging show rider Trol, who, as he grows older, becomes increasingly afraid of one day not being able to see his friends from the show world again. Then, the Goddess of Life appears to him and tells him that there is only one chance to keep his loved ones forever by his side: to reunite them in a grand show with their best numbers and thus form an eternal bond of memory. She sprinkles life powder over Trol, and he begins to experience a vision filled with vibrant life, reliving the most extraordinary shows and the friends from his career. As he journeys through this vision, he gradually realizes what binds him to each rider, dancer, musician, and acrobat: deep friendship, love, admiration, joy, humor, sadness, sensitivity, romance, fear, freedom, strength, beauty, touch, enthusiasm – life.

 

🏇🏼 Popular Stars
“CAVALLUNA – Grand Moments” is far more than a horse show – it’s an extraordinary experience for the whole family, taking both young and old on a truly magical journey. However, the four-legged stars remain at the center of attention, and the audience can look forward to exceptional talents from across Europe.

Among the participants are majestic Friesians, elegant Lusitanos, and fiery Andalusians. Laury Tisseur with his spectacular Hungarian Post and the daring trick riders from the Hasta Luego Academy will leave the audience breathless with their daring maneuvers. The younger viewers will be especially delighted by the adorable mini ponies from Bartolo Messina. Of course, the unique freedom artist Sylvie Willms will also be part of the show, along with the highly talented Pfeifer team, impressing with their breathtaking water and fire scenes.
