The magic of Cirque Du Soleil

This month, Cirque du Soleil is set to enchant the Roman public with Alegría – In A New Light, a stunning revisitation of the internationally acclaimed show that saw its debut back in 1994. The show will take place at the Grand Chapiteau of Tor di Quinto from March 1 to April 13. Alegría (“joy” in Spanish), is one of Cirque du Soleil’s most beloved and iconic productions. It holds a special place in the hearts of fans worldwide, having played a crucial role in cementing the company’s unique style on the global stage. Now, Alegría – In A New Light offers a complete reworking of the original, aiming to resonate with a new generation of theatergoers while preserving the magic and wonder that made the Cirque du Soleil a true masterpiece. Since its world premiere, Alegría – In A New Light has captivated over 2.5 million spectators across dozens of countries. The show’s central theme remains as relevant as ever: a once-glorious kingdom has lost its king, and the battle for power rages between the old order and the young, who seek hope and renewal. Amid this political and social upheaval, the court jester’s clumsy attempts to seize the throne contrast with the growing demand from the streets for change. This uprising challenges the status quo, bringing the promise of joy and transformation to the world. With new direction and renewed musical arrangements, breathtaking acrobatic feats, innovative choreography, and refreshed costumes and makeup, Alegría – In A New Light offers a contemporary take on a timeless classic. The world-class ensemble of 54 acrobats, clowns, musicians, and singers inspiring magic, joy, and energy, will transport audiences into a mystical and poetic universe.
