Cirque du Soleil's Ovo is a circus production that premiered in Montréal, Canada in 2009. The show is inspired by the world of insects and highlights movement rather than acts or dancing. The creatures in Ovo fly, leap, crawl, and bound to showcase the movement of life, immersing the audience in a hidden universe. The production reveals an ecosystem teeming with life and unseen beings such as insects who work, eat, crawl, flutter, feast, fight, and court each other in an ongoing explosion of energy and movement.

Composer Berna Ceppas created a score inspired by the music of Brazil to enhance the overall experience. The word "ovo" means "egg" in Portuguese, which is the underlying theme throughout the show. The logo of Ovo features an insect within the text, with the two O's representing the eyes and the V forming the nose and antennas.
