‘OVO’ He Didn’t: It’s all drag to Cirque contortionist Kyle Cragle
Cirque du Soleil ‘OVO’ (Photos courtesy Endicott PR) Cirque du Soleil’s OVO opened Wednesday night at the Comerica Center in Frisco.
The show’s theme centers on a bug’s life – or several bugs perhaps. But as with any Cirque show, the thrill is in the acrobats and the music and spectacle.
There’s much humor in the show – some of it cute, some of it sophisticated with massive amounts of talent onstage. Houston-native Kyle Cragle, 25, did the media rounds Wednesday morning which led to an extended kiki about drag and queerness and the circus.
His act in OVO plays the dragonfly and he beautifully contorts and hand balances his body to dazzling effect. Some may know Cragle from his time last year on America’s Got Talent – on there he performed the same type of act only in drag and in heels. Dallas Voice: Congrats on opening night.
