Be swept away by an acrobatic ode to the force of hope
At the heart of a once-glorious kingdom that has lost its king, Alegría explores the power struggle at play between the old and the new order as Mr. Fleur, the royal court jester, clumsily tries to take the throne.
While the young Bronx movement challenges the privileged Aristocrats, and the Angels aspire to a brighter future, the characters of Alegría slowly realize that harmony must triumph if joy is to reign.
Experience our most iconic production in a new light
After mesmerizing over 14 million spectators from 1994 to 2013, the quintessential Cirque du Soleil classic Alegría returns, entirely reimagined for a new generation.
Through revised stage direction, refreshed acrobatics and a renewed visual aesthetic, Alegría preserves the magic of the original production and celebrates the foundation of its success: its memorable melodies, timeless themes and immersive baroque-inspired universe filled with lyricism and nostalgia.
"Anchored in the heart, mind and soul of all who have worked on its creation, then and now, Alegría is a tribute to the creators and dreamers who see beyond the barriers, those who walk against the wind and face challenges, those who stumble and get back up again, those who believe in what can or could be, who believe that change is not an option, but a necessity."
