Ovo, in Portuguese, means egg.
In the language of Cirque du Soleil, Ovo means magical story-telling, lyrical rhythms, colorful eye-catching costumes, and heart-pounding acrobatics all centered in a place where bugs, insects, and creepy crawlies take center stage.
Ovo writer, director, and choreographer Deborah Colker took inspiration from the documentary film “MicroCosmos,” a 2005 movie that took a close-up look at the very tiny world of backyard bugs.
“Colker felt it would be an interesting concept to enter into the world of insects and to show that world to the human eye,” said Ovo artistic director Marjon Van Grunsven.
