"
Cirque du Soleil, is a Canadian entertainment company, self-described as a "dramatic mix of circus arts and street entertainment."
O (pronounced the same way as eau (French for water) is a Cirque du Soleil show. It has been in permanent residence at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, since October 1998. "O" is Cirque's first aquatic show, which features underwater acts such as synchronized swimming as well as above-ground acts.
Since this is a water based show, every member of the cast is SCUBA-certified. The costumes have a lifespan of 20 shows, with multiple costumes per performer costing about $10,000 to produce. In order for the platform stage to rise and fall without a wake, the surface of the stage has thousands of tiny holes.

However, this blog entry does not talk about the amazing O show but rather it showcases the amazing sculptures showcased in the waiting lobby of O at Bellagio. These are exclusive pieces, most of them for sale, showcasing body in motion figures from different Cirque Du Soleil Shows. They are Amazing! You won't get to see them any where else!
ENJOY!
