According to the Cirque du Soleil website, Ovo portrays insects working, playing, fighting and looking for love in a world “filled with biodiversity, beauty, action and moments of quiet emotion.”

Ovo debuted in 2009 and has since been performed for more than 6 million fans in 24 countries around the globe.

It isn’t the only Cirque du Soleil production coming to Arizona next year.

“Axel” – a new ice skating show – is headed to Prescott Valley’s Findlay Toyota Center for four performances in March and the Tucson Arena for six performances in April.
