World famous Cirque du Soleil takes you into the colorful, energetic world of insects in their latest touring show under the Big Top, OVO. Amidst work, play, and the everyday activities of an insect's life, a gawky, quirky new insect arrives and a fabulous ladybug catches his eye. With stunning aerial acrobatics and music, OVO is a whimsical wonderland for the whole family, in the tradition of the most awe-inspiring Cirque du Soleil touring productions.

OVO is a headlong rush into a colourful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy and movement. The insects' home is a world of biodiversity and beauty filled with noisy action and moments of quiet emotion.

When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious about this iconic object that represents the enigma and cycles of their lives.

It’s love at first sight when a gawky, quirky insect arrives in this bustling community and a fabulous ladybug catches his eye – and the feeling is mutual.

OVO is overflowing with contrasts. The hidden, secret world at our feet is revealed as tender and torrid, noisy and quiet, peaceful and chaotic. And as the sun rises on a bright new day the vibrant cycle of insect life begins anew.
