Fan Pier and Pier 4
Boston, Massachusetts 02210

Following its successful run with Kooza in 2008, Cirque du Soleil returns to Boston with its latest touring production OVO. Proudly presented by iShares® OVO opens July 22nd for a limited engagement under the trademark blue-and-yellow Grand Chapiteau (Big Top), located at the Fan Pier & Pier 4, on Boston’s New Waterfront.

OVO is a headlong rush into a colourful 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.

When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious about this iconic object that represents the enigma and cycles of their lives.

It’s love at first sight when a gawky, quirky insect arrives in this bustling community and a fabulous ladybug catches his eye – and the feeling is mutual.

OVO is overflowing with contrasts. The hidden, secret world at our feet is revealed as tender and torrid, noisy and quiet, peaceful and chaotic. And as the sun rises on a bright new day the vibrant cycle of insect life begins anew.
