Eugen

Eugen is the guardien of the theater. He is also our guide.
Stong, but vulnerable, this aging theather manager knows all
and provoke us to see the darkside of «O». His ghostly orchestrations
take us on a timeless journey through different worlds as he makes
his own transformation from dark to white. Everything old becomes
new once more.

Guifà

He is the young Sicilian boy who we first see reading the
theater rules to us. But, his curiousity and quest for adventure
ends up transporting him to a magical realm where all his hopes,
fears and dreams come true. He is the willing prisoner in this
kaleidoscopic domain--the witness who is everywhere and every man.

Le Travesti (The Transvestite)

He wears the clothes of a wicked woman; he coos, he hisses,
he murmurs -- his primal cries resound throughout the theater.

Aurora is an artist in the world of «O» who has
captured the interest of Giufà. She also turns the
head of Eugen, the theater owner.

Le Joueur d'Orgue de Barbarie

La Petite Danseuse

She is a dancer and follows the tune of the Barbary organ,
as she has always done.

that balances the dark part of humanity. This team, originally from Russia, has been
performing together since the early 1980s and were both featured in Cirque du Soleil's Alegría.
