A Spectacular Cirque du Soleil Experience

OVO is one of Cirque du Soleil’s most colourful and energetic productions, transporting audiences into a vibrant world inspired by the hidden life of insects.

First created in Montreal in 2009, the show has delighted more than 4.5 million spectators worldwide, combining breathtaking acrobatics with imaginative storytelling and striking visual design.

A World Beneath Our Feet

Set in a bustling insect ecosystem, OVO follows the arrival of a curious blue fly who discovers a lively community of insects — and quickly falls for a dazzling ladybug.

Around them, an entire world of creatures springs to life: ants marching in formation, crickets leaping through the air, spiders weaving elaborate webs and beetles performing astonishing feats of strength and agility.

The production blends romance, humour and high-energy circus artistry, creating a joyful celebration of nature and biodiversity.

Extraordinary Acrobatics and Visual Design

Featuring over 50 performers from 12 countries, OVO showcases Cirque du Soleil’s signature fusion of athleticism and artistry.
