Alegría
A REIMAGINED CLASSIC
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 redefined storytelling and stage direction, refreshed acrobatics and a renewed visual aesthetic, Alegría preserves the magic and emotions of the original production and celebrates the foundations of its success: its memorable melodies, timeless themes and immersive baroque-inspired universe infused with lyricism and nostalgia.
An acrobatic ode to the force of hope, Alegría (Spanish for “joy”) explores the power struggle at play between the old order and the youth striving for renewal at the heart of a once-glorious kingdom that has lost its king. As the royal court jester clumsily tries to take the throne, a growing desire for change emerges from the street to defy the status quo and bring joy to this world in decay.
