Cirque du Soleil Ovo is billed as a headlong rush into a colourful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy and movement. OVO Cirque’s 25th show has arrived coincidentally during the company’s 25th anniversary year. OVO previews begin April 23. Official opening May 8, continues through July 19.
The cast of OVO comprises 53 performing artists from 13 countries and director Deborah Colker, a renowned choreographer, has integrated dance movements into many of the numbers in the show.
Cirque du Soleil OVO features many acrobatic acts including a stunning flying trapeze act: flyers soar high above the stage, from both edges to the middle landing on a platform. This act combines many circus disciplines: banquine, Russian swing and swinging chair. Another one, the Wall act, features 20 artists running, jumping and leaping straight up an 8m vertical wall.
Following the Montreal run, the tour will travel to Quebec City and Toronto before touring the USA.
