Ovo, the newest Cirque du Soleil touring show, concludes the Canadian leg of its inaugural tour with an engagement in Toronto, running September 3 – November 1. After this, the production will travel to San Francisco, the first stop on its United States tour, beginning performances on November 27.
The name Ovo means “egg” in Portuguese, and the production is described by the company as being “a headlong rush into a colorful 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 action of Ovo is set in motion when a mysterious egg appears in the insects’ midst.
The cast of Ovo includes 53 performing artists from 13 countries. The piece has been directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker.
