Cirque du Soleil: OVO on Tour
Talk about creating a buzz. Touring circus company Cirque du Soleil's OVO offers a nonstop, life-affirming, two-hour tribute to the infinitely diverse world of insects. This sensual, acrobatically dazzling show premiered in 2009 as the Montreal-based circus company's 25th production since 1984. The cast for its premiere included 54 performing artists from 16 different countries. Created and directed by Deborah Colker, OVO (Portuguese for "egg") contemplates insects in all their beauty, action and curiosity. Brazilian composer Berna Ceppas transforms their flight, leaps, creeping and crawling into a samba-influenced choreographic spectacle augmented by the constant flutter and hum of real insect sounds.
With well over a thousand performances to date, OVO long ago took flight as one of the Cirque's most popular and rewarding extravaganzas. As Albany, New York's Times Union said of OVO in 2020, "In our digital age, it's reassuring to remember that non-simulated, filter-free entertainment still has the power to dazzle and transport us."
What is Cirque du Soleil: OVO?
Upon its Montreal debut in 2009, OVO became Cirque du Soleil's most audacious and virtuosic new-circus show to date. A trio of principal characters — Master Flipo, Foreigner and Ladybug — keeps this arena spectacular in constant motion, as awestruck insects become intensely interested in a mysterious egg's sudden appearance. OVO teems with life, and Cirque du Soleil's talented cast mirrors the insect world's natural abilities to fly, balance and leap with a lifetime of practice and precision.
During one of the company's largest flying acts, 10 scarab beetles on three platforms toss a single beetle back and forth. A colorfully costumed dragonfly flits about, red ants juggle chunks of kiwi and corncobs with their feet, and butterflies cling gracefully to one another as they float through the air. For OVO's grand finale, the large span used for brilliant lighting effects transforms into a two-story climbing wall onto which trampoline-powered crickets are hurled as though onto a vertical stage. Cockroaches, grasshoppers and other insects serve as supporting characters throughout the evening's dozen acrobatic tours de force.

Cirque du Soleil: OVO was Awesome!
by KPoo on 4/19/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 5 out of 5This was the forth Cirque du Soleil that we've seen. I wouldn't say that it was the best yet, but the show was very good and worth the trip!
OVO, a must see!!!!
by LouisianaRN on 4/19/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 5 out of 5I bought tickets for my family, my husband nor my 6 yr old son had ever been to a show like this and they were totally amazed and enjoyed it. My 9 yr old daughter sat glued to the show with her mouth open, I had taken her to another Cirque du Soleil show a few years ago and she like me absolutely loves Cirque du Soleil. This show was wonderful, definitely a must see!!!!
Cirque du Soleil Does It Again!
by Nolagator on 4/19/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 5 out of 5This is the 18th different show I have seen of Cirque du Soleil and they never have been disappointing. OVO is no different - it is a great show! The music has a Brazilian beat and the acrobatics are "over the top".
Amazing Show!
by JennDeMerice on 4/19/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 5 out of 5ThIs is a must see show for everyone! Men,women,young and old! I will be back with my 13 year old as soon as it is in town again.
OVO is a must see!!!
by Bjb550 on 4/19/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 5 out of 5An all around fun and entertaining event for the whole family. Amazing entertainers. The show was amazing and had great feats of acrobatics as well as comedy thrown in. I would recommend any of the Cirque de Soleil shows. All around always worth the cost of admission. I look forward to seeing more of their shows.
Beautiful
by Courtneyec on 4/19/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 5 out of 5I am always blown away at how beautiful their shows are. I haven't seen one yet that wasn't beyond fantastic. It is true art.
Forgettable
by Cvice on 4/19/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 2 out of 5Didn't make sense. Story line difficult to follow.
Presentation was colorful but without substance
by Edthetemplar on 4/19/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 3 out of 5We read the description prior and I have to recommend not doing this. The description implies some story line about bugs and the egg...forget that(maybe I expected too much with that). The music was a combination of happy noises and sound. The costumes and color were beautiful and the acrobatics and acts were a wonder to see. The troop members were superb and their abilities a joy to watch. It would have been nice to see members in person upon exit. Assoc. with: The parking garage area was congested and tight. This was made even more joyous by unfriendly police on exit that wouldn't let you leave the way you needed even though you just witnessed them allowing another to leave that way...thanks.
OVO Cirque de Soleil
by AwesomeNutcracker on 4/19/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 5 out of 5Awesome! Amazing what these talented people can do! Unbelievable strength, coordination, creativity, beauty and imagination! My only disappointment was that I wanted to know what was in the EGG! I wanted it to hatch at the end!!!
OVO was AWESOME!
by mbbpenguin on 4/19/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 5 out of 5This is our second Cirque du Soleil show in Baton Rouge and this one was my favorite of the two - but they were both great. I can't wait to see the next one!

Very Entertaining
by Gutchild on 4/19/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 5 out of 5Seats were good saw a lot of the action but I would prefer to be in the center to get the whole view.
Great Show
by allimorb on 4/19/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 4 out of 5Only bad thing was the hard seats in the venue. It was not comfortable to sit on the seats for two hours. We also thought we would be sitting higher up because we don't like being eye level with the stage but it was still a good viewing. The show was very acrobatic which I really liked seeing. I didn't really get the story line but they are sometimes hard to get. I would recommend everyone see a Cirque du Soleil show at least once though!
OVO was very entertaining
by becky225 on 4/19/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 5 out of 5This was a great family event. From 3 yr old to 60 yr old we all had a great time I would recommend this to anyone.
True Talent
by Gooberelise on 4/19/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 5 out of 5This was my first time seeing Cirque du Soleil live. It was amazing. The athletes performed feats that were beyond my wildest dreams. It was incredible. Also, it was clean fun so anyone of any age group could enjoy it. Emotions were portrayed very well even though no language was being used.
