Opening
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...
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.
