CirqueDuSoleil's 25th production, a tent-based tour, opened in 2009. (This happened to be the company's 25th year, but the show was not presented as a MilestoneCelebration.)

"Ovo" is the Portugese word for "egg", and that's what "The Foreigner" is carrying on his back when he arrives in a colorful, diverse community one otherwise ordinary morning. The Foreigner is actually what we humans know as a fly, and this community is one made up of similarly whimsical insects and arachnids presided over by Master Flipo, a grasshopper. (The only human characters are some bugcatchers who circulate in the audience during the preshow.) A romance between the fly and a sultry ladybug ensues between the acrobatic acts, each of which are performed by different "species".
