STATE OF THE ARTS: Cirque de Soleil

Cirque du Soleil returns to El Paso with multiple performances of Ovo from April 12 through April 16, 2017 at the Don Haskins Center.  

Ovo, meaning “egg” in Portuguese, is a headlong rush into a colorful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy and movement. 

When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious about this iconic object that represents the enigma and cycles of their lives. The cast of Ovo is comprised of 50 performing artists from 12 countries specializing in many acrobatic acts. Here to tell us about it is performer Kyle Crager.

Originally Broadcast on March 25, 2017
