Cirque du Soleil has captivated millions across the globe, and now Austin is next. OVO, a reimagined classic filled with bold new acts and characters, arrives at Moody Center for a four-day run this October.
Fifteen years after its creation, OVO (“egg” in Portuguese) takes on new life with a fresh set design, newly imagined acts, reinvented music, and costumes that evoke nature in bold and unexpected ways. Crickets leap across trampolines, ants juggle food with precision, butterflies soar midair, and a contortionist spider bends in unimaginable shapes. At its center is a curious egg, an enduring symbol of cycles, renewal, and possibility, sparking both wonder and laughter within the community of creatures on stage.
Since its debut in Montreal in 2009, OVO has been performed in more than 40 countries and has delighted over 7 million audience members. This latest version builds on that legacy while offering Austin neighbors something entirely fresh. The updated staging, paired with new characters and choreography, promises to surprise even those who have seen the production before.
What makes OVO so memorable is how it combines jaw-dropping athleticism with emotion. Each act is backed by a pulsating Brazilian-inspired live score, fusing samba, funk, and percussion to bring the stage to life. The production features 53 performers from 25 different countries, each bringing their artistry into a show designed to thrill audiences of every age. Families will find it just as enchanting as date-night crowds, making it one of the season’s must-see events.
Presented at Moody Center, OVO offers Austinites the rare chance to experience Cirque du Soleil’s world-class magic without leaving home. Whether you are a longtime fan of Cirque or attending for the first time, the combination of color, movement, and imagination promises an evening unlike any other.
This October, gather your family, friends, and neighbors to witness the wonder of OVO. From its awe-inspiring feats to its whimsical story, the show reminds us how extraordinary the everyday can be when viewed through a different lens.
Cirque du Soleil’s OVO runs October 9–12 at Moody Center. Tickets available at cirquedusoleil.com/OVO.
