Daihatsu Alegria-In A New Light-

Introduction

Cirque du Soleil, the world's premier Canadian live entertainment group returns in February 2023 for the first time in 5 years to Japan for ‘Daihatsu Alegria-In A New Light-.’

‘Alegría’ has become one of the most beloved Cirque du Soleil shows by mesmerizing over 14 million spectators in 255 cities in over 19 years of touring. In 2019, to celebrate its 25th anniversary, ‘Alegría’ was restaged in a whole new light, ensuring that all its components such as stage direction, acrobatics and costumes would be as inspiring for today’s audiences as they were at the time of the original creation.　　

In Japan, ‘Alegría’ was seen by 670,000 spectators in Tokyo and Fukuoka in 1996. In 2004, ‘Alegría 2’ was held in Tokyo, Fukuoka, Nagoya, and Osaka, attracting 1.14 million spectators. The show is the first step for Cirque du Soleil to revive its overseas productions under the ‘Big Top’ tent, since performance cancellations due to the global pandemic of COVID-19. Five years after its last production ‘KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities,’ it finally brings its long-awaited performance to Japan. The official sponsor for the Japan tour is Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd.

Story

At the heart of kingdom that has lost its king, Alegría observes the power struggle between the old order trying to maintain the status-quo and the youth yearning for change and hope. As the old king’s fool clumsily decides to take the throne, a young movement emerges from the street to shift the power balance and finally bring light and harmony to their world.

The melody of ‘Alegría’ is retained, while the energetic acrobatics and the profound storyline unique to Cirque du Soleil, will allure spectators to a joyous journey full of hope.
