Alegria

An Enchanting Fable.

Alegria is the first feature film inspired by the world-famous Cirque du Soleil, an internationally-based performance ensemble that uniquely blends traditional circus arts with the expressive possibilities of theatre, dance and music.Alegria, the film, is far more than the documentation of the live event.Instead, the cinematic medium has been employed to expand and transform the original, fantasmagorial vision, moving the Cirque's dreamlike imagery out of the Big Top and into the real world, and introducing a narrative love story enacted by a distinguished international cast.
