Location: Sam Houston Race Park
My friends and I had the best time being treated to opening night of the premier of Cirque du Soleil’s ALEGRIA! I’ve been to several Cirque shows and this was definitely one of my faves! Cirque du Soleil Alegría, the MOST well-known Cirque show, is performing in Houston under the Big Top from Feb. 29 – April 12. In celebration of their 25th anniversary, Alegría (joy in Spanish), is beginning fresh with its completely redesigned production, acts, set design, music, costumes, and makeup. This is the most stunning show ever!
If you have seen Alegria before, come discover it in its bright new reincarnation and fall in love with it all over again.More about Alegría:Alegría(‘joy’ in Spanish) takes audiences at the heart of a once glorious kingdom now in decay led by the king’s fool and a dusty aristocracy. Carried by an intangible wind of change, an emerging movement from the streets strives to shake this established order,instilling hope and renewal to bring light and harmony to their world. With its joyful spirit,Alegría is a vital, energizing force driven by a thirst for a brighter tomorrow.In trueCirque du Soleil fashion,Alegría unfolds soul-touching clown antics and remarkable acrobatic performances in a whimsical and immersive visual universe. Perched at the top of the Big Top, gymnasts fly from one High Bar to the next, and leap into the void to reach the hands of mighty catchers suspended on a cradle swing. Using all her limbs, an artist dazzles with her ability to spin and twirl a multitude of hoops while contorting her body with otherworldly ease. Other Jaw-dropping highlights include a daredevil Fire Knife Dancer eating, breathing, touching and juggling with flames; a sublime couple onAerial Straps soaring through a delicate snowstorm; and fourteen tumblers bouncing off a Powertrack (trampoline tracks)embedded into the stage to perform crisscrossing series of daring somersaults.
Performances are through April 12th.
