Opening

«O» Drip... drip... drip... Can't you hear it? Yes... you can feel it. Water is in the air... and it's dripping from the ceiling! Thus begins an interesting pre-show from Cirque's clown troupes. But when you call for their help, you really get more than you barganed for. The two clowns are bent up on making nothing but a disaster in the wake of such a simple task: stop the leak. Funny, upbeat and very entertaining. The clown duo will make you laugh until you can't laugh any more. But once they clear out...

«O» The theater hushes into a dead calm. The lights dim... out from the red curtain that has been draped over the stage comes a white hand -- a goulish hand. There! There! Did you see it? It is beconing a man who has been wandering the stage. It wants him to come a little closer... and closer... No! The hand grabs the unsuspecting man and drags him behind the curtain -- where did he go!? But then, a malformed man jumps out, takes a look and moments later, returns the unsuspecting spectator -- who begins to advise us of the rules of the theater.

As he finishes, this man, a Sicilian man, begins to levitate and retreat backwards... taking with him, the red curtain. The world of «O» opens to us for the first time and the festivities begin. Red streaks fly... one... two... three. The characters begin to howl. They begin to dance. A new world has been opened and we've been invited to explore.
