Alegría's triumphant return in 2019 marked the 25th anniversary of the original 1994 production, reimagined as "Alegría – In A New Light". Each performance features jaw-dropping acts including a daredevil Samoan fire knife dance, fourteen acrobats soaring off crisscrossing trampoline tracks, and a heart-stopping flying trapeze display set 10 meters above the stage.
Transport to a baroque dreamscape that comes alive on the majestic set illuminated by a massive gilded crown and 120 costumes - some of which took 300+ hours to create. Watch Cirque du Soleil’s ethereal production in Brussels with tickets to Cirque du Soleil’s Alegría!
A game of power is set ablaze in a kingdom frozen between yesterday and tomorrow. The royal court's jester, Mr. Fleur, grasps at authority while the old guard of Aristocrats clings to their fading privilege. But change stirs in the streets below, where the young, fiery Bronx movement is preparing to challenge tradition. As Angels soar above the lost empire, will darkness finally come to light?
