CIRQUE du Soleil is coming to the Newcastle Metro Radio Arena with its spectacular show, OVO.

OVO, a celebration of nature and co-existence, is a fun-filled production for the whole family, and we have a pair of tickets to give away.

After debuting in London, OVO officially became the highest selling Cirque du Soleil performance run to visit the capital.

The cast of OVO is comprised of 50 performing artists from 17 countries specialising in many acrobatic acts.

OVO, meaning “egg” in Portuguese, 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.

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 is 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.
