Circus lovers | Kids | Families

Get ready to be whisked away on an acrobatic rollercoaster of hope, rebellion, and joy!

In a kingdom once thriving but now missing its king, Alegría unfolds a power struggle between the old guard and the youth, all fighting for a glimmer of hope and a brighter future. Watch as the bumbling court jester makes a hilarious, yet desperate, play for the throne, while the streets begin to hum with a desire to shake up the status quo and bring a little more joy to the world.

Reimagined for today’s crowd, Cirque du Soleil’s Alegría – In A New Light takes the beloved classic, first premiered in 1994, and turns it into a dazzling, modern spectacle. With soaring acrobatics, unforgettable melodies, out-of-this-world costumes, and plenty of playful humor, this revamped show brings the magic of Alegría back to life, all while packing in fresh energy and theatrical flair.

Now calling Belgium home under the Big Top at Natiënlaan, Alegría is more spectacular than ever! Expect fire-breathing stunts, gravity-defying trapeze acts, acrobatic marvels, and a surreal set that transports you to another world. It’s the ultimate immersive experience, one you simply can’t miss!

Acrobats. And definitely the clowns. Very nice decor and costumes. Music a little too loud though. Seats for the children perfect. Too much merchandising. Food and drinks very expensive.
