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.
Great Show

Cirque du Soleil: OVO (egg- when will it hatch!)
by CGarc on 4/19/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 4 out of 5An egg comes into view at the onset of the show. Following the theme of all their shows, a recurring element keeps you wondering. What will come out of the egg? The gymnastics, tramp specialist, acro-gymnastics, jugglers, tumblers, aerialist, actors, and singers, were what you would expect from Cirque du Soleil.
Better than expected!
by Theotherrickster on 4/19/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 5 out of 5This show was incredible! It is great for all ages. I was entertained from start to finish and would defiantly see it again. I was so amazed at what these talented humans could do with their body's and strength.
OVO was outstanding!!!!
by BattGyrl504 on 4/18/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 5 out of 5Attending a Cirque du Soleil performance has always been on my list of things to experience. When the opportunity to attend OVO was presented I jumped at the chance. The performers were spellbinding, the costumes were phenomenal, and the story line is hilarious! I hated to see the performance come to a close. I would definitely love to see OVO again or purchase the DVD when it's released!
Ovo was good, but spotlight spoiled the show!
by Sheba2 on 4/18/16Lake Charles Civic Center Arena - Lake CharlesRating: 3 out of 5I enjoyed the show, but had trouble seeing some of the acts because the spotlight was in my eyes. This is the 2nd time I have had trouble with spotlights at the Cirque Du Soleil. I saw another show in Lafayette, LA and the spotlight in my eyes for about 15 minutes before the show started.
OVO
by lledoux on 4/18/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 5 out of 5From someone who has had the pleasure of seeing several other Cirque Du Soleil shows, I loved this one also. And my companion saw his first and also love this one. Our only complaint was that our seats were in the 200 section and even though we had great seats to see the performance, in the future, we were going to spend the extra money to get in the lower section cause we were unable to appreciate the beautiful costumes and performers facial expressions, which were priceless through our binoculars. We will continue to attend all Cirque du Soleil shows that come to our area. Thank you!
Awesome Ovo
by amazingovo on 4/18/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 5 out of 5The production was amazing: visually appealing, audibly appealing. This production had my senses reeling and kept me entertained and amazed from the beginning until the very end.

Good show, mixed feelings
by SirVive on 4/17/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 3 out of 5Excellent show, especially the athletic portions. Great costuming and sound. Too much of the comic skits. The skill of the athletes and jugglers -balancers was impressive.
As expected - Awesome Show

Not the best
by Michael555 on 4/17/16Baton Rouge River Center Arena - Baton RougeRating: 3 out of 5I've seen a lot of Cirque du Soleil over the years, and this one just wasn't up to par. The beauty and spectacle was missing, and it just felt... off. It left me desiring more.
SPLENDID

Cirque Du Soleil was a fantastic show.
by FromJennings on 4/15/16Lake Charles Civic Center Arena - Lake CharlesRating: 4 out of 5The artists were very good. The show was very impressive. We bought a show book that helped us to understand what was going on. I do recommend the show but you need to buy the show book.

Excellent show, Vegas quality for sure. Although the venue disappointed a little with only one restroom, one staircase/entrance/exit, and only one concession for 1,000 people. I've seen Cirque in Vegas, and was thrilled to be able to see it in my home town with my kids.
Awesome!
by Leakkaymarvel on 4/14/16Lake Charles Civic Center Arena - Lake CharlesRating: 5 out of 5The talent in these shows is unbelievable! This is the 3rd Cirque Du Solieil we've seen, and the best yet!!!
