OVO is a headlong rush into a vibrant, colourful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight, and search for love in a whirlwind of energy and movement. The audience is invited to immerse themselves in this fascinating world of biodiversity, filled with a mix of noisy action and quiet moments of emotion.
The story unfolds when a mysterious egg appears in the midst of the insect community. The arrival of this iconic object ignites curiosity, representing the enigma and cyclical nature of their lives. As the insects investigate, a quirky, gawky newcomer arrives and instantly falls in love with a fabulous ladybug, leading to a blossoming romance in this bustling world.
Overflowing with contrasts, OVO reveals the hidden world beneath our feet—both tender and torrid, noisy and quiet, peaceful and chaotic. With each sunrise, the cycle of insect life begins anew, painting a vibrant picture of the delicate balance in nature.
The name OVO, meaning “egg” in Portuguese, symbolizes the central theme of life’s cycles and the birth of many insects. In fact, the word “OVO” itself hides an insect: the two “Os” represent the eyes, while the letter “V” forms the nose.
Cirque du Soleil’s OVO has captivated audiences around the globe with its stunning acrobatics, mesmerizing visuals, and enchanting storytelling. Now, Kingston residents and visitors will have the chance to witness this magical spectacle firsthand.
