Ovo is a touring circus production by Cirque du Soleil that premiered in Montréal, Canada, in 2009. Ovo’s creator and director, Deborah Colker, took inspiration from the world of insects. The idea for Ovo was not to be about the acts, nor dancing, nor insects, but about movement. Composer Berna Ceppas brought additional life to Ovo with a score inspired by the music of Brazil. Ovo means “egg” in Portuguese and represents the underlying thread through the show. Graphically, inside the logo of Ovo, is an insect. The two O’s represent the eyes and the V forms the nose and antennas. 
OVO is 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 insects’ home is a world of biodiversity and beauty filled with noisy action and moments of quiet emotion.
