This act is one of my favourites when I was a kid and I get my first DVD of Cirque du Soleil, it was Alegria. This act changes my entire life for good. The strength and speed of the performers inspire me forever.
1994-2013:
In glittering costumes spun of gold, an ethereal group of performers leap across the set tumbling aboard an elongated trampoline embedded in the stage. Like medievals warriors penetrating the depths of a mythical forest, the tumblers not only demonstrate their undeniable acrobatic prowess and strength, but also their grace in a dance whose manner is unique to Cirque du Soleil.
Crafted with equal parts speed, danger and artistry, tumblers draped in gold take off from solid ground and tumble along soft diagonal strips of trampoline material installed flush with the stage, which has opened up to reveal a fantastic display of athleticism as gymnastics alchemize into fine art as acrobats dressed in royal gold flip with lightning speed. The illusion is one of the golden birds hovering in suspended flight.
A new light on Power Track (Main | Apr.18.2019 – present)
Alegria: In a new light, in today’s lens, changed the meaning and also was a revolution in costumes and music of the act.
In a burst of energy, the emerging movement takes the kingdom by storm, creating a breaking point, both literal and symbolic: the stage breaks open with a deep rumble that symbolizes the shaking of the foundations of the stuffy aristocratic order.
