World-renowned Cirque du Soleil made the big announcement today that the company is changing their “OVO” in the best way! They are bringing it for a special showing at the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, IL. For six exclusive performances, from February 13-16, “OVO” promises an entertaining family show, according to an official press release from The Silverman Group.

Chantal Tremblay, who has been Director of Creation in 2009 and 2024, had this to say about the restaging: “The challenge was 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! 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!”

The press release added, “After performing in 40 countries and delighting audiences in the Middle East, Egypt, and Europe in recent years, the OVO insect colony returned to Cirque du Soleil’s headquarters in Montreal for a new look. Over the past year, a team of more than 135 professionals (including 53 artists of the show) and the original creators of OVO have developed this restaging, including a revamped set design, new acrobatic acts and characters, freshly designed costumes, and reinvented music.”
