Deriving its title from the Spanish word for jubilation, the show features kings' fools, minstrels, beggars, old aristocrats, children and clowns performing the amazing feats Cirque du Soleil is known for -- aerial high bar, synchronized trapeze, contortion, fire-knife dance and more.

It was nice, but not the best Cirque du Soleil show I've seen. The venue was definitely too big to feel the impact of the performances. But for the price the seats were great.

ambiance was terrible, production looks shoddy, the different sets did not flow properly, wasted too much time on the "comedic" acts, wasted even more time on the "fillers", nothing impressive with the feats at all.

i've been to wintuk, varykai, mystere, kooza all better much better

The show was great for a touring show set up to only do five days of performances. The only downside was the venue as it had a very strict policy that I wasn't aware of beforehand: no bottled water, and no cameras (I was directed to a run down parking lot where I paid $10 hoping they won't lose my $1200 camera!).

Description

Alegría is a mood, a state of mind. The themes of the show, whose name means "jubilation" in Spanish, are many. Power and the handing down of power over time, the evolution from ancient monarchies to modern democracies, old age, youth—it is against this backdrop that the characters of Alegría play out their lives. Kings' fools, minstrels, beggars, old aristocrats and children make up its universe, along with the clowns, who alone are able to resist the passing of time and the social transformations that accompany it.
