Cirque du Soleil’s OVO premiered in Montreal, Canada in 2009 and has toured around the world. Wondering about the name? “Ovo” means egg in Portuguese and references the insect theme of the show. The performance is all about the incredible ecosystem beneath our feet: bugs working, eating and in this case, doing lots of tricks.
