OVO

This is the best way to beat the January blues and enjoy a night of escapism. Cirque du Soleil's incredible OVO is making its debut in London next week - and tickets are on sale now! Comprised of 50 artists, the colourful show promises captivating acts, from the Black Spider to the Diabolo.

Ovo, which means egg in Portuguese, will see the 'insects' work, eat, crawl, flutter, play and fight. When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious... 

The show runs at the Royal Albert Hall until 4 March.
