These are the amazing images from Cirque du Soleil’s new show which has opened at the Royal Albert Hall and will remain at the iconic venue until March.
Ovo is described as ‘A colourful carnival of crazy crickets, amazing ants and flexible fleas, OVO uncovers the natural world at our feet. Rush headlong into an ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and love.’
As part of the show, there is a 14-metre high flying trapeze act, which is described as the biggest of its kind.
The cast features 50 artists from across the globe, including performers from 21 different countries, including Belarus, Ireland, Russia, Ukraine, Colombia, Brazil and South Korea.
