Cirque du Soleil's OVO March 10, 2011

Cirque du Soleil returns to Houston with its live touring production OVO premiering on March 10, 2011 for a limited engagement under the trademark blue-and-yellow Grand Chapiteau (Big Top) at Sam Houston Race Park. Directed by Deborah Colker, the first female director at Cirque du Soleil, OVO, meaning “egg” in Portuguese, is a headlong rush 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. OVO is the 8th Cirque du Soleil touring show to visit Houston and the 25th production from the international dance troupe. Tickets available for purchase via www.cirquedusoleil.com/ovo or at 1-800-450-1480.
