So get ready to be inspired and rejuvenated by this unforgettable production. The combination of rigorous training, hard work and rare talents sourced from all around the world is truly stunning and will leave you speechless. For instance, the music from the original Alegría show that was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1995 is performed live during each performance. It's the result of countless hours of costume and make-up design, audio production and other behind-the-scenes work, embodying the creativity and commitment of the Cirque du Soleil brand. The breathtaking performances of the high-flying trapeze artists will leave you in awe, but the show is much more than just their daring stunts and exceptional talent. The show is roughly two hours long (including a 25-minute intermission), featuring an incredible ensemble of 52 performers, including clowns, acrobats, aerialists and fire dancers from 17 countries. The show tells the story of their conflicting perspectives and the search for a new path forward. The kingdom is divided, with one group being the ageing nobility who cling to traditional ways, and the other being the youthful ‘Bronx’ who strive for positive societal change.

The show is on now through June 25 at Odaiba Big Top, after which it will move to Osaka (but we’ll show you why you’ll want to book tickets sooner rather than later). This production, which is the longest-running show in Cirque du Soleil history, is a version of a 1994 production that has been revamped to resonate with modern times. It’s finally here: after a long pandemic-induced hiatus, Cirque du Soleil is back in Japan for the first time in five years, presenting Alegría: In a New Light.
