Its Grammy‑nominated soundtrack remains Cirque du Soleil’s best‑selling album and won two Félix Awards, sound by Dupéré still resonates across generations.

Designed by world-class creative team, Gilles Ste‑Croix, Dominique Lemieux, Debra Brown, this modern staging transforms the classic into a visually and emotionally immersive big‑top revival.

In a once‑glorious kingdom that has lost its king, Alegría Paris stages a poetic battle between the aristocratic elite and the hope‑driven youth. As the pretender monarch rules alongside pompous courtiers, a street‑born movement seeks to reclaim joy with music, acrobatics, and rebellion. Set in a world of court clowns, aerial artists, and soulful songs like the iconic title track, the struggle builds toward a climax you’ll only discover inside the tent.

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.
