Show Biography - Cirque - 'O'
An array of awe-inspiring images celebrates the vitality of the human spirit. Among these images are the visually stunning duo trapeze, world-class divers and daring displays of highly specialized aerial acrobatics. The innovative 'Barge' number, performed by eight women from the Ukraine and Russia, intrigues with a unique interpretation of traditional circus art and dramatic choreography. A spectacular visual treat, the fire sequence provides contrast to the ever-present element of water. The journey continues to the chaotic cadre number and through the poetic prowess of contortion. 'O' features a team of synchronized swimmers, who, under the direction of Canadian gold-medalist Sylvie Frachette, bring an entirely original approach to the sport and to the theatre. The entire performance is narrated by the international melodies of a 10-piece orchestra.
The show reunites many of Cirque du Soleil's acclaimed creators from previous productions, including Franco Dragone, director of creation Gilles Ste-Croix, set designer Michel Crate, costume designer Dominique Lemieux, composer Benoit Jutras, choreographer Debra Brown, lighting designer Luc Lafortune, and sound designers Jonathan Deans and Franois Bergeron.
