Cirque du Soleil OVO Comes to Hershey, PA in March 2025
REIMAGINED PRODUCTION PERFORMING FIVE SHOWS AT GIANT CENTER
The bugs are headed to town! Complete with new staging, characters and acrobatics, OVO by Cirque du Soleil is set to fly its wings at GIANT Center later this month, with five performances on March 20-23, 2025. Keep reading below to learn more about why OVO ("egg" in Portuguese) is all the buzz!
ABOUT THE SHOW
Between a triumphant European tour and a highly anticipated return to North America, OVO by Cirque du Soleil is undergoing a full transformation. After a year of development led by the original creators, a team of more than 135 professionals (including the 53 artists of the show) worked to evolve the show. The 2025 tour includes a revamped set design, new acrobatic acts and characters, freshly designed costumes, and reinvented music in the production.
From crickets bouncing on trampolines to a hypnotic spider contorting into all sorts of shapes, OVO exudes and extraordinary sense of spectacle that tickles the imagination. Funny and chaotic yet adorable and wonderful, OVO enchants all of our inner child with its gentle exuberance. Made up of 100 people from 25 different countries, including 53 artists, OVO showcases high-level acrobatic acts that redefine the limits of the human body.
“The challenge is to find the balance between preserving the essence of the show that made it a success and allowing it to continue evolving. Like the insects that bring it to life, the show is in constant transformation, in perpetual motion: that's the magic of live arts,” says Chantal Tremblay, Director of Creation in 2009 and 2024. “Revisiting a production created 15 years ago, with the original creators and the touring team that has made it shine around the world, is an exceptional adventure!”
