Alegria 19 years!



So it is with a sad heart that I say we have lost yet another Cirque show. For 19 years Alegria has brought joy to audiences all over the globe. Today I sit on the sofa and type up this blog cherishing every last bit of this show I can find. Here are some beautiful things that Alegria has brought to us.

Alegria Live at Fairfax

A couple clips on Instagram of the final bow:

Clip 2

We spoke with Micah Naruo (Fire Knife dance) from Alegria by Cirque du Soleil. We asked him the following:
What was it like stepping on to the stage for the final time?

"It was a rush. I was nervous at first but like usual once I touch the stage all doubts fade away and show mode kicks in. While doing my act I felt good but had a bit more energy knowing at the back of my mind that this would be my final time performing on this stage. The audience was amazing which always help me feel better about my performance which I feel I give back a better performance. I'm pleased with my final performance and wouldn't have it any other way especially because my mom flew out from Hawai'i."

Also Check out our sister facebook group Hardcore Cirque Fans for clips of the techno show

We will be sharing more final performance clips as they show up!
Tonight we let the artists party tomorrow I'll ask them about what their experience was like!

To Alegria we say
Au revoir!
We will miss you

This one is slightly sadder you get to see the stage lights dim for a final time.
