Cirque du Soleil presents 'OVO' in Madrid and this is its surprising 'backstage'
Cirque du Soleil's latest show 'OVO' debuted in Madrid at the Movistar Arena, showcasing an intricate backstage setup and spectacular performances inspired by a vibrant insect colony.
Cirque du Soleil has launched its new show 'OVO' at the Movistar Arena in Madrid, a venue that allows the performance to reach a wider audience beyond its traditional big top setting. This show, featuring a unique blend of acrobatics and artistry, is designed for large venues and requires the troupe to relocate their miniature city each week, adding a layer of complexity to the production. The Madrid audience is thus treated to a striking experience that diverges from the usual circus atmosphere.
In 'OVO', the narrative unfolds within a colorful insect colony, where each character brings life to the stage through awe-inspiring acrobatics which highlight their distinct traits and skills. From powerful grasshoppers performing on trampolines to a mesmerizing spider showcasing her contortionist abilities, the performances emphasize the unique personalities of the insect world. The show's vibrant aesthetics and engaging storyline continue to set high expectations for Cirque du Soleil’s productions.
This adaptation to the Movistar Arena marks a significant moment for Cirque du Soleil as it embraces larger venues while maintaining the intimate feel of their performances. The intriguing backstage setup not only captures the essence of the show but also reflects the logistical challenges involved in transforming a large space into a captivating universe. With 'OVO' being available until Sunday, this limited run offers Madrid the chance to witness the creativity and dedication that define Cirque du Soleil.
