Show Highlights
Soaring through the air on bright red silks and spinning on hoops swinging from the ceiling, the stage acts in O ™ are inventive, jaw-dropping and often hilarious. The stage is a massive pool and many of the exhilarating performances incorporate water in some form or another. A team of contortionist will surprise you with a coordinated routine that will leave you wondering where one person begins and the other ends. The fire dance will have you hypnotized by the twirling balls of flame. There’s a duo trapeze act where they use their legs and feet to hold on to each other instead of their hands. Russian swings catapult divers high up in the air that seamlessly transform into quadruple flips and twists that end with an elegant dive. You won’t believe your eyes!
Did you Know?
- The title of the show, O ™, originates from the phonetics of the French word “eau”, which means water.
- There are breathing apparatuses underwater, so performers can stay submerged.
- Inside the pool, there is a communication system, so performers can listen for sound cues.
- Music is performed live each show; the musicians play from glass enclosures around the theater, so their instruments won’t be damaged by the water.
