Opening night of OVO (egg) was a magical experience with an equally magical setting under the big top one of the best Cirque shows that I have seen, of course this shows consisted of more acrobatic performances and is filled with surprises.

The show is about two hours long with 20 minutes. Intermission and involves different bugs and insects and their costumes were amazing and super creative with colorful costumes, humorous with a great orchestration, comedic sideshows and loving. So in OVO, a mysterious egg appears and all the insects are amazed and curious about it, brought to them by this new insect that is a bit different from everyone else.  And when he meets the ladybug amidst their midst, it’s love at first sight between the two of them.  Crew had tons of man holes in the stage itself, used a wall and over course had some spectacular mid air acts with cricket jumpers, contortionists, balancing, trampoline, and trapeze acts, a spider woman, and the cute bug couple on the single rope (this one with incredible flexibility in their bodies). Many people didn’t understand the real meaning of that Egg, OVO means Egg but It was still a little confusing as to what it meant. Nothing hatched from it so maybe it was supposed to be a food source or not.

Cheering the performers on audience was truly awesome experience, of course all as in Cirque Du Soleil’s phenomenally modern and unique style with an upper class circus event. Two thumbs up for this show!!!
