Cirque du Soleil is back in Edmonton for a wild show this summer

This summer, a high-flying show is coming to Edmonton as Cirque du Soleil’s OVO swings into Rogers Place Arena.

“OVO is a colourful intrusion into a new day in the life of insects; a non-stop riot of energy and movement,” the entertainment company said in a news release.

“Through show-stopping acrobatics highlighting the unique personalities and abilities of selected insect species, OVO explores the beauty of biodiversity in all its contrasts and vibrancy.”

OVO will perform at the Rogers Place from July 13 to 17, 2022, for eight performances.

Tickets went on sale online exclusively to Club Cirque members on Monday, April 25. The general on-sale starts on May 2.

The show has mighty crickets bouncing off trampolines to a hypnotic spider contorting inside her web.
