Gffdxh ♥️🤩😍🤭

And also the work of everyone behind to make this show happen - wardrobe make up artist and all the propsmen .

@@geraldobrizot4085 thank you

These words mean everything to us! We hope to see you at our shows soon 😍

@@CirqueduSoleil Oh, how kind of you to reply! I wasn't expecting that but I'm glad my comment made you all happy. It's true and heartfelt and I love you guyz! Wish you all the best always!!!

i agree, but what do you mean no little people? there is a little person in Kurios

​@@ttpdTV09Il veut certainement dire quelque chose plutôt comme: pas d'exposition de personne ayant des différences physiques marqués comme le nanisme ou autre "malformation" comme des "curiosités". Tout le monde ici est traité comme un être humain et non comme une bête de foire comme c'était et c'est parfois le cas dans d'autres cirques ou spectacles.

@@NitaMahopmaa ohhh okay thankyou

I wonder also if everything is strictly planed in these solo perfomances or if they just know what they can do and what will work out and then they improvise? Eg this cry wheel, is there a strict plan how he will spin around in 5:00 or is it just like let's have a spinning session and see what happens....

@@janbensi4065 I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure every single second of the routine is choreographed. So the guy knows when to start and stop the spinning sesh and what to do during it

@@janbensi4065 Is all prepare i'm sure. The circus make the auditions searching for the sport they want, then the ones who autidion have to show their ability & what they can do. Take months.

@Ian Hornbuckle @Jan Bensi @ly ne I love these questions because I know this like the back of my hand. Sorry, this will be long. Usually, the performers come up with tricks and skills, especially with this act because the performer actually designed this apparatus and is the best in the world so far, and in gymnastics, my sport, when someone does a new skill, it will usually be named after them and maybe added to or banned from the code of points depending on the danger level of said skill. Nobody outside of the actual athletes comes up with skills especially when put in a routine so it's a matter of time before someone comes along and is able to do that skill. Next question, almost everything is choreographed and rehearsed to a t but there might be slight differences in how it's executed, it's just the human element, but we are usually able to count how many times we, say, spin on a crossed wheel but with the hula hoops, it's a bit different because Elena or whoever is performing is not counting how many times it spins because that's not as important as it is with the crossed wheel, she's just trying to keep it spinning. It's also a very heavy amount of muscle memory as well and we don't so much as see what we're doing as we do feel it. Final comment, Cirque du Soleil is such a big company that they hold annual auditions that are open, and people are evaluated based on their skillset. Not everyone gets a job at first but they're all entered into the Cirque database of performers so Cirque can hire them for a role they need filled later. If you're lucky and have someone you know who works there, they can put your foot in the door for you and you can sometimes bypass the audition process but will still be evaluated. After you are cast, you do prepare for months with a specific act(s) which you can recommend, but ultimately, they will put you where they need you. Done. If you read all that, thank you. Hope that answers your questions.

@@FireMonkey9 I stumbled upon this video out of the blue and just read your comment. I’m fascinated and I just want to thank you for taking the time out to clarify so much information!

couldn’t agree more ! Saw my first (and sadly only) performance in Antwerp 1996 ... this video took me back there 🤩, so nice to watch now during another lockdown 🇦🇺

I haven't seen Alegria, but I had the same experience when seeing "O" in Vegas 20 years ago.....go see O! It's unforgettable. I've since seen a few other of their shows, but O is still the best.

Alegria was also my first. I saw it in Seattle in 2003, and even though I've seen others, Alegria remains my favorite with fast track being my favorite act.

I'm very glad you enjoyed the show. And even more glad that this show was your first introduction to Cirque du Soleil. It's definitely my favorite. I love hearing people's first-time experiences in seeing a Cirque show. I wish I could wipe out my mind and experience this show again for the first time. I saw this show five times when it was here in Seattle very recently. Irene is absolutely fantastic! I was about five feet away from her at the security gate when I was meeting with other artists and I'm kicking myself that I wasn't able to get her attention to ask for a photo. I gave her two dozen white roses at the end of the show on their last show here in Seattle. She's so amazing.

I had the pleasure to meet Irene just before the last show of 2019, which I attended, she was so nice, I asked for a picture and she went above and beyond and recorded a video for my daughter introducing herself and other performers who were at the store with her. Later at the show, her performance blew me away, she is absolutely amazing. The other singer is also fantastic. I believe they both created a beautiful experience to remember for a lifetime. Thank you both of you.

Im not getting moved by the instrumentation. Does not sound live. Sounds recorded and lacks the feel I had for the old.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who didn’t get the same magical feeling I got from the original run of Algeria. Francesca Gagnon had such a beautiful voice and elegance. The whole new costume and lighting does not give the same energy as it did before.

I also love the other Alegria. It was my first introduction into Cirque du Soleil and I've been obsessed with CdS ever since. But this new incarnation just blew it out of the water. I saw it 5 times when the show came to Seattle. I cried during Mirko because everything was just so beautiful. I've seen a lot of Cirque shows and Alegria: In a New Light is most definitely the best one I've seen and my favorite.

Just saw the show at Sacramento this afternoon, was so excited to see the show as a big cirque du soleil fan, but i have to say I’m pretty disappointed.. the show missing the due straps and some other parts, which is the most important part with the main song, also feel like they changed the show compared to this spotlight, so sad…

Just saw it just now. Bloody amazing

Bless your soul sir

;-;

Thank you!!!

Thanks

whats the song at 16:00 called?

Beautiful!!💝🌟🌟🌟☄

I also preferred the original scratchy voice. Luckily I have it on CD. ❤️🇨🇦

We are happy that you are completely mesmerized by this show!

Thank you for the love!

I feel that same way about Verakai. Takes my breath, all of it.

How much for a copy from you

Es una reversión fantástica😊

So incredible to hear your experience 🥰

In the Cirque du soleil?🤔😮...it's amazing 💜

We love Vancouver ❤️

Antes , los principios de los 70 tenía una sede en Austin TX, se le llamaba circo del Sol porque era internacional, y había otro, histórico, con el nombre de Circo Internacional, también había sede en Italia, y Suecia/Noruega, aunque se movían por todo lugar que fuesen aceptados. Tuve la suerte de coincidir siendo un niño con alguna actividad, eran como personas lo que ves, sí merece la pena que lo veas, porque lo vivirás. Todos los niños que hicimos algunas cosas lo llevamos en el corazón. Nos llamaban pelotitas amarillas, pues con este color se nos veía mejor. Disfrútalo y se niña🤸🧚☀️

🥰🥺

Alegria toured their city in 2004 and at that time had the best team in Russian Bars, this act unfortunately is no longer in the new version, it was replaced by this act at 16 minutes. But it was the same cast from the 2003 video they featured Solstrom's Russian Bars. See at least 5:55 a snippet of them in Japan: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqiem8J70J7MqmQ.html

Thank you so much for the kind words Juanita! Hope to see you again soon 💙

Wow she's one lucky girl!! Already 4 shows at 4 years old! We're so happy she enjoys them ❤️🤩
