OVO is a headlong rush into a colourful 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. The insects' home is a world of biodiversity and
beauty filled with noisy action and moments of quiet emotion.
When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and
intensely curious about this iconic object that represents the enigma and cycles
of their lives.
It’s love at first sight when a gawky, quirky insect arrives in this bustling
community and a fabulous ladybug catches his eye – and the feeling is mutual.
OVO is overflowing with contrasts. The hidden, secret world at our feet is
revealed as tender and torrid, noisy and quiet, peaceful and chaotic. And as the
sun rises on a bright new day the vibrant cycle of insect life begins anew.
The name OVO means "egg" in Portuguese. This timeless symbol of the life cycle
and birth of numerous insects represents the underlying thread of the show.
Graphically, OVO hides an insect in its name: The two letter "Os" represent
the eyes while the letter "V" forms the nose.
