    Cirque du Soleil - OVO

    (368 reviews)

    Yes! Now THIS is the type of show that got me obsessed with Cirque Du Soleil. The last show that I…read morehad seen before this one was Toruk, which was based on James Cameron's movie Avatar. It was a complete and utter disappointment in every aspect. What a way to rebound! Ovo is the 14th unique Cirque show that I have seen and it had everything that I have come to love and expect from Cirque Du Soleil. There were feats of strength, skill, and artistry set to music that ranged from hauntingly beautiful to downright silly. The theme of the show revolves around an insect world. There are so many memorable characters that you witness. The sassy ladybug, the high flying crickets, the silly ants, and the other bugs comprise a varied insect kingdom. Some of the most memorable acts: Ants - They start off with Chinese foot juggling with items painted to look like food. Then they advance to Icarian Games where they are juggling each other. So humorous and entertaining. Flying couple - A man and woman are continuously sent flying into the air being pulled up by straps they are holding on to. This act actually kept making me cringe because they had no net and would have been seriously hurt if they would have lost their grip. Aerial cradle - A couple of huge guys were attached to scaffolding high above and flung the ladies airborne to other sections of the scaffolding. Breathtaking! Contortion - The name of the song that plays during this act is called "sexy web". These spiders might get me to reconsider my hatred of arachnids. Diabolos - I first saw these in La Nouba, but this solo artist was doing tricks with them I had never seen before. I'm still trying to figure out how he was able to release one stick and have it fling around him while the diabolo stayed on the string. Power track - Crickets come powering out of the stage tumbling on a long trampoline while other crickets fall from the top of a high wall onto trampolines. What a finale! The soundtrack was an instant purchase for me. It's interesting to read how the musical composer used Brazilian music as a heavy influence. The music doesn't sound anything like other Cirque shows that I've seen. Some of the music is insanely catchy and gets stuck in my head for days when I hear it. I left the arena with a smile on my face excited to see the next Cirque creation!

    very much a very young kid's show. And it should be billed that way. Normally I live their shows…read morebut this was very boring with nothing exciting or visual about it. We left at intermission.
