Touring circus company Cirque du Soleil's OVO offers a nonstop, life-affirming, two-hour tribute to the infinitely diverse world of insects. 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.

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.
