DENVER — Cirque du Soleil is back in Colorado for the first time since 2019.
The touring circus company's production of "Ovo" will stop in Colorado Springs and Denver in September following a visit to Loveland in August.
"A colorful intrusion into a new day in the life of insects," "Ovo" will not be performing under Cirque's iconic big top, but will instead perform inside Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs and Ball Arena in Denver.
"Ovo" — meaning "egg" in Portuguese — is comprised of 100 people from 25 countries, including 52 artists, with high-level acrobatic acts.
Since its opening in Montreal in 2009, "Ovo" has been seen by more than seven million people in 155 cities in 26 different countries.
The last Cirque du Soleil production to perform in Denver was "Corteo" at Ball Arena in August 2019.

'Ovo' by Cirque du Soleil
"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," said a release from Cirque du Soleil.
"From mighty crickets bouncing off trampolines to a hypnotic spider contorting inside her web, 'Ovo' exudes extraordinary showmanship to tickle the imagination. Funny and chaotic, yet adorable and wonderful, 'Ovo' charms our inner child with its sweet exuberance."
