Tune in Today, April 10 at 3pm ET, to watch our new Cirque du Soleil hour-long special featuring some of the best moments of Alegría – In a New Light, KOOZA and KÀ.
Oh my goodness, Artemis—this is SUCH a treat 😍
Folks—some remarkable artistry and athleticism in this
Especially recommend an act around the 30 minute mark—I’ve never seen anything like it.
So happy you enjoyed it.
I think I know which segment you refer to. Watched it with heart racing, knots in my stomach, eyes out of my orbits, and screaming at each jump.
And they tease ‘n tease: when you think they are done and ready to collect their applause, well, that was only the warming up.
They are out of this world.
Mesmerizing.
Oh, that is so true. Exactly, evocative. They create stories and poems, it's all metaphors and yes, they create and bring cultures together, deepening our sense of wonder.
"Alegria" hits me as somewhat mournful and yearning, so it brought up a bunch of feels 💜
I can certainly see/hear nostalgia in Alegria. And if it associated with other personal events, feelings can be quite powerful with that show. Music transports.

Astonishing. Utterly so!!
Something about Cirque in general is particularly emotionally evocative, too--the art, athleticism, music--and the way cultures intersect onstage...
