Cirque Du Soleil Show 'Ovo' Bound For Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH, PA - Cirque du Soleil's "Ovo," which has thrilled more than six million people worldwide since its 2009 debut, will be back in Pittsburgh in January. There will be six performances at PPG Paints Arena January 23 to 26.

Ovo, meaning “egg” in Portuguese, delves 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. 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 is 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's cast is comprised of 52 performing artists from 14 countries specializing in many acrobatic acts. It features over 10 different high level acrobatic acts such as foot juggling & Icarian games, hand balancing, contortion, aerial straps, slackwire, Russian Ccadle and a signature final act mixing trampoline, tumbling and rock climbing.

Tickets for the general public will be available on Oct. 18.
