‘London’s crawling’

LONDON’S Royal Albert Hall was crawling with spiders, crickets, ants and fleas on Wednesday as Cirque du Soleil brought its insect-themed show Ovo to the famous venue for the first time.

Ovo (egg in Portuguese) is about a day in the life of a community of 17 insects, portrayed by humans. It has been seen by over five million people since its premiere in Montreal eight years ago and will run in London for eight weeks.
