Cirque du Soleil: Alegria


Yesterday evening I had my first ever experience with a circus, and not any ordinary circus.. I went to see Cirque du Soleil, and they performed their show Alegria.

Cirque du Soleil is a global troupe of acrobats, contortionists and daredevils. The show surprised me with its live music, amazing costumes, humor and talent.

Going to Cirque du Soleil will give you an experience you'll never forget. It's almost unbelievable how people (the cast of Cirque du Soleil) can make you laugh, excited, surprised and speechless in one show without it feeling unnatural or forced.

I am so impressed with how detailed, structured and professional it felt and looked like. Everything was thought through, everyone was working together, every costume looked amazing (and some even reminded me of the movie Alice in Wonderland!).

Cirque du Soleil took me away from the real world, made me laugh, made me excited, made me feel like everything is possible and defenitely touched my heart!

If you are ever able to go and experience Cirque du Soleil; do it, take the chance, go and see it! You'll never forget it!
