Cirque du Soleil’s OVO Hatches a Dreamlike Spectacle
Cirque du Soleil’s OVO Climbs Walls, Bounces on Trampolines and Soars Through the Air in a Kaleidoscopic Bug’s-Eye View.
August 21st, 2025
Cirque Du Solei’s OVO Cracked Open a World of Wonder. The moment a giant cracked egg loomed over the stage, I knew Cirque du Soleil’s OVO wasn’t going to be just another night at the theater. Instead, it was about to hatch into something spectacular. From chirping frogs and parading bumblebees to pre-show antics that had the crowd buzzing, the evening felt like stepping into a kaleidoscope dream where insects ruled the world.
Everywhere you looked, there was movement. Towering bees swung gracefully from oversized rose petals while caterpillars waddled across the stage on hilariously oversized legs. The show blended whimsy with wonder, weaving in live vocals, a soothing violin, and even playful xylophone notes that had both kids and adults tapping along.
As the performance unfolded, the acrobatics became more jaw-dropping. Mist rolled across the stage as aerialists soared above. A surreal contortionist folded herself into shapes that hardly seemed human, and a spider-like performer crept and crawled in hypnotic fashion. Soon after, a shifting boat-like high-wire act redefined balance and bravery. Each feat seemed as if it had been designed in its own dream lab, unique, daring, and impossibly precise. My palms were sweaty just watching the timing and coordination.
One of the night’s biggest showstoppers came with the flying trapeze act. A full team of performers launched through the air in a triple-threat display of strength, timing, and daredevil precision. Bodies soared, flipped, and were caught mid-flight in a way that made the entire arena gasp before erupting into thunderous applause.
Yet the trapeze was not the only act that dazzled. Many moments stood tall on their own, but one that deserves special mention was the Wall Trampoline. Familiar to longtime Cirque fans who caught the old La Nouba production at Disney Springs, this reimagined version took things to another level. The acrobats literally juggled themselves between walls and trampolines, creating a mix of athleticism and illusion that felt like watching gravity get punked in real time.
Throughout the show, even the props had a life of their own. Corn stalks became juggling tools, poles transformed into gravity-defying dance partners, and trampolines turned crickets into bouncing daredevils. At one point, performers popped up out of the ground like a living garden, while a massive slinky-like creature rolled across the stage to childlike laughter from adults who could not contain their glee.
In addition, the magic was never just front and center. There was always something extra happening in the background, which served as a reminder that in OVO’s world, the only expectation you should have is to expect the unexpected. Playful audience participation kept the energy light, while moody side effects and ever-hanging set designs pulled us deeper into this insect colony’s surreal universe.
The show eventually wrapped with a dreamlike sequence that blended beauty, strength, and imagination into one final surreal image. By the time the last bow was taken, it was clear Cirque Du Solei’s OVO gave us a fantastical bug’s-eye view of life that had both kids and adults crawling with excitement.
So yes, the bugs are back in town and trust me, this is one infestation you will actually want to catch.

Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.
August 20, 2026
Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.
South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.
The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.
On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.
Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection
Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.
Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.
The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.
We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.
Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.
It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.
Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami
There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.
In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.
A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.
Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.
Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.
The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.
Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall
Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.
The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.
Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.
Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar
Fashion is only part of the experience.
For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.
Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.
The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.
Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.
The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.
A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home
For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.
Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.
Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.
And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.
After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.
Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
