Los Angeles was the first place outside of Canada where Cirque du Soleil was performed, and the city will be home to the new OVO show in the spring of Each spring for the next five years, those in the LA area will get to see a Cirque du Soleil touring production.
Tickets for the show are now available to Club Cirque members, and sales will open up to the general public on December 3, LIVE; to add Cirque du Soleil to the impressive list of talent who have performed on its stage is truly an honor. An exciting Cirque du Soleil experience for the whole family, OVO is a colorful intrusion into a new day in the life of insects, a non-stop riot of energy and movement.
Highlighting the unique personalities and abilities of selected insect species through show-stopping acrobatics, OVO explores the beauty of biodiversity in all its contrasts and vibrancy. The team are synchronised and precise as we imagine the military insects to be. The juggled props give way for the passing of acrobats from base to base, tossed from one upturned pair of feet to the next and back again. Some nearby grasshoppers bring ears of corn to be juggled at the top of the now two-high ant towers.
It quickly becomes clear, however, that the performance has only very loosely been modelled on its insect muses. There is no real urgency, no fight for survival, no natural interactions in this show. Or his own oddly avian-shaped offspring…? The trio are more mimes than clowns, although there is naturally some cross over, and several ripples of laughter run through the audience at their antics. Their accompanying sound effects from the live team of musicians are witty and well timed, even if the sexual politics are less so.
The fly wants the egg back, we gather through a couple of interludes. When he gets it at the end, however, it is unceremoniously abandoned onstage and we still never find out why it was so important to him. Two separate handbalance-contortion acts showcase the individual styles of Kyle Cragle and Ariunsanaa Bataa: Cragle, as a dragonfly, perches atop a spiralled vine flitting his fingers, elbows, feet and knees before melting into the curves of his equipment; Bataa, as a teasing, backbending spiderwoman, tries to lure the watching crickets into a web of light painted across the floor, flanked by handmaidens Alanna Baker and Marjorie Nantel on vertical ropes.
In their monochrome costumes, the pair seem more like mayflies than the butterflies the programme names them as, drawn towards each other in an immediate courtship. A Mr Slinky act from Sergyi Rysenko fits the theme of the show, appearing as part of a bug-spray induced psychedelia, proportions shrinking and stretching and weaving around each other.
