Cirque du Soleil’s colorful bug-like spectacle comes to NJ

🐛 Acrobatic bugs make their way to Newark at the end of this month

🐛 Cirque du Soleil's, OVO, will be shown for three days only

🐛 Three new acts and characters were added to the show in 2022

NEWARK — If you love acrobatic bugs, then you’re going to love this show.

Cirque du Soleil has announced the return of its spectacular, OVO, coming to New Jersey later this month.

OVO, which means “egg” in Portuguese, is a colorful intrusion into a new day in the life of insects; a non-stop riot of energy and movement, Cirque du Soleil described.

The show is coming to the Prudential Center in Newark from June 20-22.

This show-stopping acrobatic show highlights the personalities and abilities of selected insect species while exploring the beauty of biodiversity in all its contrasts and vibrancy.

For its relaunch in 2022, three new acts and new characters were incorporated into the OVO colony.

The story dives into the ecosystem life where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight, and look for love. When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious about this object that represents the enigma and cycles of their lives.

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

“Funny and chaotic, yet adorable and wonderful, OVO charms our inner child with its sweet exuberance. Comprised of 100 people from 25 different countries, including 52 artists, OVO brings to the stage high-level acrobatic acts redefining the limits of the human body,” according to Brian Buttler Media Relations.

OVO opened in Montreal in 2009, and has since thrilled more than 7 million people in over 160 cities and close to 30 different countries.
