While there are many themes within the show, some of the predominant ones are that of power and the handing of power down and the progression from ancient monarchies to modern democracies, using “gravity-defying acrobatics”. Using musical influences from France, Spain, Africa and the Mediterranean cultures, you get to experience a range of different sounds and compositions. The performances of Cirque Du Soleil Alegría, include the graceful manipulation dance as well as the exciting fire knife dance showing the mix of danger and elegance can work very well together.
