What would Ovo do?

Posted Oct 26 2010 12:00am

Our second attempt at Cirque du Soleil was far more successful, meaning we were actually allowed in this time.

So it turns out that Ovo is about...bugs. Like, insects. Everyone was a little insect. Even the creepy clown MC was some kind of bug, but I'm pretty sure that specie only exists in the LSD dreams that produce this

Let me sum up the script for you
FAT LADY BUG

gggliiiick! HAAAAA eep eep! HAAAA

WEIRD HAIRY FLY

Okay! Wow!! womp womp OVO!

CREEPY CLOWN MCrah rah raaah!!! eeep eeep GAAAH
END SCENE
Seriously, the show was amazing but even I - a total theatre geek - could have totally done without the "story" of the hiary fly trying to woo the fat lady bug while chasing after his OVO. Interspersed, of course, with acrobatics, contortion, synchronized kiwi twirling and a large dancing caterpillar. Obviously. I spent most of the time with my mouth open thinking OMG OMG OMG!!1!!

OOHHHVOOOHH!

(captured before being scolded that there was NO PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED)

We were in the 8th row, which means that when that little dude lifted himself up onto his hand and then contorted his body into an upside split and then started spinning around...I could totally see the chalk puff off of his hand and the veins protruding from under his radiant turquoise spandex.

My favorite part? The little green insects that I thought looked more like frogs that walked up and down the rock climbing wall. WALKING. ON A WALL.

They could have cast me as a garden slug, I would have rocked it.
