Cirque du Soleil’s Ovo
Jan. 20, 2012 - Mar. 25, 2012

A blue-and-yellow “grand chapiteau” adjacent to Santa Monica Pier hosts Ovo. Meaning “egg” in Portuguese, Ovo delves into the insect ecosystem with 55 performers and a riot of colorful, evocative costumes. The main act, a trapeze stunt, features six “flyers,” and the finale features “20 artists running, jumping and leaping up against a 24-foot vertical wall.” Cirque du Soleil performs under the big top in a show inspired by insect life. cirquedusoleil.com/ovo
