Envision a stunning and beautiful world overwhelmed by skipping around bugs that achieve superb accomplishments to irresistible Brazilian music. This is OVO, the Cirque du Soleil story of a baffling egg that cultivates a sentiment between a ladybug and a grasshopper.
When inside the Amazing Chapiteau (Large Top), the crowd is invigorated by the fragrance of grass sprinkled with dewdrops. Before them is an enthusiastic culture of brilliant bugs showing astounding spryness. Insects, subterranean insects, butterflies, fireflies, scarab bugs, dragonflies, crickets, insects and caterpillar strive for focus as they bounce, take off, creep, balance and resist gravity.
The bug provinces are contained 54 competitors and gymnasts from 16 nations, a few of them Olympians, all heroes in their singular disciplines. They are regulated by imaginative chief Marjon Van Grunsven and prepared by lead trainer Alexandre Sasha Pikhienko.
Van Grunsven fostered the developments illustrative of an environment. An expert artist, educator, choreographer, Pilates teacher and organizer behind her own dance company, she has worked in this nation and abroad. Prior to joining the OVO group, she was creative head of "Ridiculousness" which shut in 2008.
She reviews that whenever she first met the picked specialists, there was a great deal of talking, sharing and trading considerations. After it was concluded the way in which every bug would work, her occupation was to designate assignments to the gymnasts, flexibility specialists and acrobat and trampoline craftsmen to decide how their thoughts could be achieved.
Albeit the show is about development, not dance, their bug like developments are a lot of a combination of the bossa nova, samba and other Brazilian music styles. To foster every daily schedule, the writer (Berna Ceppas) worked with the entertainers and made music to help a specific stunt. Alongside him, numerous Brazilian project workers were close by doing set plan and lighting. Every one of them are exceptionally energetic about adoration and life and this excitement meant the whole organization.
Sasha Pikhienko joined the Moscow Carnival at 17 as a tumbler, to the pride of his dad, a designer, and his bookkeeper mother. His affection for sports and the carnival was acquired by his girl Olga, his accomplice in "Jokester and Young lady," a 1992 gold-award winning demonstration at Celebration Mondial du Cirque de Demain in Paris. Olga is presently an individual from "Quidam," the Cirque du Soleil show as of now visiting South America.
Subsequent to winning a silver decoration at Beijing's Reality Celebration of 1993, Pikhienko visited with Ringling Siblings prior to resigning and opening a rec center in New Orleans. In any case, he was unable to oppose getting back to a bazaar climate in 2000 when Cirque du Soleil named him lead trainer of "Varekai," trailed by "Mystere" and presently OVO.
His responsibility is to show the craftsmen how to stay away from injury through a singular arrangement. This is something individual and their own liability. Since all are answerable for ten shows week by week, this requests long periods of day to day practice and molding that incorporate equilibrium, coordination, chest area strength and lower body strength. Pikhienko calls attention to that the competitors never stay on a similar level, however ceaselessly develop. Albeit some are somewhat better compared to the others, all are on an extremely significant level kept up with legitimate wellness preparing.
Van Grunsven stresses that the relentless show excites all ages, from the extremely youthful to extraordinary grandparents. The show that began as the imaginative group's child, has developed to a work of art in body development by craftsmen who have developed in fact and stay new through thorough preparation.
When the smell of blossoms fills the large top, the enormous finale starts, and the specialists rise the upward wall with just group coordination and individual ability to lift them, the crowd is propelled to jump up and move to the music.
