| Spider Contortionists from Cirque du Soleil's Ovo |
The
media was treated to a sneak preview of the upcoming Cirque du Solei’s Ovo
with a performance by the Spider Contortionists at the tarantula exhibit at the
Academy of Natural Sciences. Following their amazing feats on the artificial
turf, Alana and Aruna enjoyed a brunch fit for spiders...Mealworm Frittatas, Cricket
Pancakes, Homemade Granola Bars made with Queen Weaver Ants, and Cricket
Scones. For the less adventurous, there
was a platter of bagels and muffins. I have to admit, the frittata was good; it
tasted like eggs and onions with a bit of a crunch! For Aruna, this will be her
third Cirque show. She was born into a circus family and has been doing contortions
since she was seven. For Alana, this is
the first Cirque circuit she has joined, but both of them are looking forward
to what might be a five year run of Ovo internationally. They will be
joined by 50 performers from 12 different countries. The production will appear at the Liacouras Center
in Philadelphia from May 11-15 for 7 performances only and at Boardwalk Hall in
Atlantic City from June 22-26 for another 7 performances.
