<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">ABOUT OVO:</span></strong></p>
<p><a title="OVO" href="http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/shows/ovo/tickets/santa-monica.aspx" target="_blank">OVO</a> 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. The insects' home is a world of biodiversity and beauty filled with noisy action and moments of quiet emotion.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>The&nbsp;show is located just north of the Pier in the 1550 Pacific Coast Highway Lot.&nbsp; For tickets call </em><em>1-800-450-1480 and&nbsp;all other&nbsp;information visit: </em><a href="http://www.cirquedusoleil.com"><em>www.cirquedusoleil.com</em></a><em>.</em></p>
