麻豆AV

Cirque du Soleil is on its way to 麻豆AV to present OVO - a colourful look at the life of insects.

Capital News met with contortionist Ariunsanaa Baata who plays the white spider and is one of 52 performers.

Baata said the show takes inspiration from Brazil where the writer is from and where Baata herself was raised.

鈥淚n Brazil we have a lot of insects. We grow up with insects, we grow up with mosquitoes, we grow up with everything鈥� Everything was very human in all the Cirque du Soleil shows and she was like 鈥榥o, I want something very different鈥�.鈥�

The show follows a blue fly as he enters a new colony and has an ovo - or egg - in his possession.

Baata said there are a lot of underlying messages on love, inclusion and new beginnings.

OVO opens at Prospera Place on June 9, with seven performances.

Senior Publicist Janie Mallet said the 21 semi-trucks carrying all the equipment and costumes will be rolling into 麻豆AV in the coming days.

鈥淲e carry the stage, the grid, the lights, the video projections, the sound, the costumes, the dressing rooms, the offices, everything that we need to bring the show.鈥�

OVO is entertainment for the whole family.

鈥淲hen I hear kids laughing, the little giggling, it鈥檚 like, 鈥榦k, this is it,鈥� Baata said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 why we do it.鈥�

Tickets are available for purchase on the .
