Cast

The cast of O includes many unique characters.

  • Philemon (Guifà): He Is a young Sicilian boy, who is curious about and lost in the world of O.
  • Le Vieux: He is both the guide and the guardian of the theatre. As his character journeys from dark to white, he embodies the cyclical part of life where everything old becomes new again.
  • Le Travesti: He is a dancer wearing the clothes of a wicked woman; his cries resound throughout the theatre.
  • Comets: Clad in red jackets and white hair, the Comets soar through the air on silks. They also accompany the principal characters as they make their entrances and exits and provide assistance during some acts.
  • Masked thief: He is a masked character with many faces who plays with fire
  • L'Allume: He is a pyromaniac who is seen completely set on fire.
  • Waiter
  • Bride: She is the bride who dreamed of being a queen. She is also one of the singers.
  • Zebras: The zebras add a touch of playfulness throughout the show and perform in the Cadre act.
  • Barrel organ grinder: He can be seen as the guardian of each emerging world. Strong man, organ grinder, guileless giant, ever willing to be helpful.
  • Aurora: Graceful, fragile and inaccessible, she represents the quest. Philemon catches sight of her in the prologue, pursues her whenever he sees her, and finds her again in the epilogue.

Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    If you are cast in a different mould to the majority, it is no merit of yours: Nature did it.
    Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)

    When such as I cast out remorse
    So great a sweetness flows into the breast
    We must laugh and we must sing,
    We are blest by everything,
    Everything we look upon is blest.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I have a notion that gamblers are as happy as most people, being always excited; women, wine, fame, the table, even ambition, sate now & then, but every turn of the card & cast of the dice keeps the gambler alive—besides one can game ten times longer than one can do any thing else.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
