Cirque du Soleil (or Circus of the Sun) is without question the ensemble which has done the most to restore people’s view of the circus as a valid and desirable form of entertainment. 

Founded in Quebec, Canada, 40 years ago, the company has presented a host of groundbreaking theatrical extravaganzas, seamlessly blending circus styles from around the world and proving to be a massive hit wherever it’s set up its big-top tent. 

The troupe is here making its first visit to the UK in six years, stopping off in the Midlands this month with critically acclaimed show OVO. The family-friendly production is described by Cirque as ‘a non-stop riot of energy and movement’ that makes ‘a colourful intrusion into a new day in the life of insects’.
