Why choose to see Cirque du Soleil OVO in London?

Step inside a mesmerising world where insects leap, tumble and soar: Cirque du Soleil’s OVO brings its breath-taking spectacle to Royal Albert Hall in London. With reimagined choreography, dazzling costumes and an international cast, OVO transforms the stage into a swirling hive of energy, celebrating biodiversity and community through physical storytelling and movement.

About the performance

Created by renowned Brazilian choreographer Deborah Colker, OVO eschews spoken word for pure, kinetic motion, using the language of acrobatics, capoeira, samba and street dance to tell its story. Audiences are immersed in vibrant visuals, with Liz Vandal’s haute couture-inspired costumes providing a playful and imaginative look at insect life. The show’s heartbeat is Berna Ceppas’s score, fusing Brazilian musical traditions with modern theatricality for a performance that engages every sense.

The story of OVO

At the centre of OVO (“egg” in Portuguese), a mysterious egg arrives in a bustling insect world, sparking curiosity and interactions among its inhabitants. The show follows the budding romance between a quirky fly and a spirited ladybug, as their journey of discovery unfolds among the wider insect community. Themes of love, transformation and unity are explored without dialogue, relying on dynamic visuals and masterful movements.
