First Cirque show I ever saw, I always loved this scene the power track. As a former gymnast (and subsequently tried out for Cirque didn't make it though but that is okay) all I can say is that I have major respect for the performers because what they do is beautiful, powerful, and awe-inspiring. You just have to wonder sometimes the pure brilliance of it all.
Never can quite say what I like best about Cirque, the performance of that acts or the music. It's classical, electronic, jazz, new age, pop all rolled into one without any of those genres' bad parts--just the good stuff.
This was the clip that got me interested in the Cirque. I was flipping through channels, caught this on Bravo halfway through, and my jaw hit the floor. I wound up watching the whole rest of the show before I even realized I'd just spent an evening watching a "circus" on TV. Glad I finally got to see something - Corteo - live.
I saw Kooza in June - WoW!! What a SHOW! If Cirque du Soleil EVER comes to your town GO! You will NOT be disapointed! The best show I have ever seen. They give you your money's worth in entertainment.
Captivating.... and ......mesmerizing, synchronization and excellent / perfect body movement control... True Professionals of an excellent caliber... Love it !
u r totally right, those guys extreme emotions through perfection. I've been fan of cirque du soleil's acts since the time I first saw them when I was younger and I never get tired of this. PErfect.
I had the pleasure of seeing Alegria when it first started. I believe that the older Alegria was the better one because it actually told a story. I seen it when I was a child and my mom had gotten us front row seats. After the show I started seeing the world in a whole new light.
Just saw the show yesterday and i´m still amazed. All of them have been simply breathtaking and the clowns were soooo cute.Alegria means Cheerfulness, but it was more than this......
These performers are people I can look up to, because they work so steakin hard to be able to do anything with their bodies. It's amazing. Those are the people who know how to live; work out and be able to entertain people and do whatever pose they want. It's very beautiful.
I was front row center to this awesome display of beauty in London. I forget her name, but the white singer sat on my lap. I almost asked her to marry me. She's very beautiful and got the strongest voice I've ever heard.
i have seen this show in dubai for 1 month every day but i never feel bore its awesome i like the singer nancy she have god gifted voice i miss these guys i hope that they will be back soon in dubai
Just came from "Totem", everything just goes soo symmetric. .The music is just great, the acts are just great, the ambiance is just great.. Cirque Du Soleil is a Circus of the Sun! May it live on forever.
i saw it a couple years ago and was totally shocked. it's so different seeing it in person after seeing it on tv. out of the ones i've seen alegria is my favorite
i highly suggest for everyone to go see this in live if they come to a area near you! This video is a mere child act compared to how absolutely incredible the actual thing is, it was awesome and if it wasn't so expensive to get in i would have gone to see them over and over again :)
I saw this show in Dallas, Texas on the 25th (two days ago). It is so utterly original and astounding to watch, the experience will stay with you forever, I'm sure. I highly recommend seeing this event if you get an opportunity.
This is my favorite act of my favorite Cirque show. I think the music in Alegria is the best. I love the voice of the White Singer-Francesca Gagnon. I have the alegria the wach that show .Increable ,the best of the word
Thank you so much for posting this! Alegria was the first Cirque show I saw live, and this was my favorite act from it. I've been dying to see it again.
O Cirque Du Soleil é lindo!!! E eu, tive o imenso prazer de conferir ao vivo e a cores o espetáculo ALEGRÍA! O nome já diz tudo: Cirque Du Soleil (Circo Do Sol), radiante, deslumbrante!!!
thats right, being with cirque du soleil is priceless i doubt someone who receives an invitation to work with them will refuse by own will. It's like a dream.
@wautrey the artists of Cirque du Soleil are coming from around the world but is heart is from Québec, the art to rally all these artists to make such a show, the eyes who choose music, costums, acrobats etc.. is from Québec.
cirque de soleil is the best. It is sooooo cool haw they do all those tricks. i love it wish i could see all the shows :D :D :D The song Alegria is sooooo beautifull. one of the best songs ever.
I don't know if it's the music, costumes, or just artsy type of acting that's going on... but I can't help but think of Final Fantasy 9 whenever I watch this. It's amazing!
cirque is just awesome! i was so happy i got to see this show when they came to florida, i cant decide if i like this or Quidam the best, maybe its a tie. nancy
i just admire ANY body tat is in ANY of da shows for cirque du soleil, goodness, i dun think any body can get any betta than this! and its just incredible to still maintain tat energy and smile, i mean after like 2 set of sumersalts and backflips i would be tired, lol
Gracias!!! siempre he buscado este espectaculo...ya tuve la oportunidad de verlo en vivo pero fue la version de soleil saltinbanco...en realidad me muero por ir a verlo a las vegas pero las actividades de mi trabajo no me lo permiten....me gustaria que hicieran giras para poder disfrutar este espectaculo....
@Nurias13 The song in the first half is called Irna, and the one sang by the two singers are called Valsapena. You can find the songs in the Alegria album. :)
I usually sing songs when I have them stuck in my head, but I had no idea what they were singing in this one... so I took it upon myself to watch this video for about the 100th time! 8D
I love their " Alegría" album the most. Gorgeous music.....yes the song sung here is from the "Alegría" album, track 12 but its name is not Alegría.
on top of their amazing acts, I love how all their music is live!

This is one of my favorite Cirque performances. It's amazing what they can do on a trampoline! Thanks for posting this!
I love Alegria,
70% of artisrs are russians,
great traditions, love it
I could watch this a million times. saw it live and I am still just as amazed as when I was there. has to be the best act Cirque has ever done

This scene never grows old, nor does it ever fail to amaze me.
When i saw this live in january at the royal albert hall, i was just in awe, everything about this show is perfect. viva le alegria !
It's like dreaming...if i watch this when i was a kid, i'll get those twinkles in my eyes and dreamt to be a circus performer :)
They all look so beautiful and graceful.....its breathtaking.

Probably my favourite act of all time. The acrobatics combined with the comedy parts and fantastic music.

tive oportunidade de ver o espetáculo Alegría e digo que é algo de arrepiar a pele e encantar o coração!
Perfeição a cada segundo!

One of the most stunning acts in any cirque show. Absolutely amazing live. Thanks for posting it.

The "Fast Track Act" is perhaps the coolest acts in Alegria! Awesome!
these guys are amazing i saw this show in Syracuse NY it was like a dream,living a fantasy just amazing performance JUST AMAZING !!!!!!!!!
I was front row center to this awesome display of beauty in London. I forget her name, but the white singer sat on my lap. I almost asked her to marry me. She's very beautiful and got the strongest voice I've ever heard.

would love to see the show live! the dedication and syncrinicty all the performers have is brilliant.
Saw Alegria in Edmonton yesterday. Truly enjoyable. The singer was captivating.
i saw it last November in Madrid. From all the shows(and they are all great)this is my favorite and this number are just incredible.
Amazes me what people can do, I have so much respect for their dedication and hard work!!!
Awesome. Saw this in London twice and regret not going a third time!
Alegria is probably my favorite show of theirs I've seen. Loved the music almost as much as the acrobatics. It was pretty wicked.
i just love this act.. the whole alegria show is amazing..
i saw it a couple years ago and was totally shocked. it's so different seeing it in person after seeing it on tv. out of the ones i've seen alegria is my favorite
this is one beautiful performance. i love cirque du soleil! these acrobats are bad ass. stuff like this actually makes me like humanity a little more.
wow i can't believe how amazing they are! imagine how many hours of practicing this act took!
i highly suggest for everyone to go see this in live if they come to a area near you! This video is a mere child act compared to how absolutely incredible the actual thing is, it was awesome and if it wasn't so expensive to get in i would have gone to see them over and over again :)

Dudes their music is just phenomenal...... The NEw Age music Rocks the World...
First show I ever saw by them, and I still love them! Cirque du Soleil is amazing and there really isn't more I can say..
If you ever get the chance to see these guys, DO IT! So awesome live :D
I saw this in Boston a few months ago. No doubt that this and the Manipulation scene were my favorites!
Amazing. One of the stuff that makes the world the way it is.
i used 2 do trampolining and lazy back summersalts are quite hard 2 do at first. they make it look so easy. hands up to these guys they're brilliant.
Thank you so much for posting this! Alegria was the first Cirque show I saw live, and this was my favorite act from it. I've been dying to see it again.

I'm an artist and this display of the human body in motion is totally mezmerizing. I want to draw them!
i went to this show n its the best ive seen in all my life :')
Just saw this in E. Lansing 2 weeks ago. It was outstanding!
Seeing this live, it literally looked like there were no trampolines and that they were simply jumping off the stage floor.
Mind-blowing..
cirque is just awesome! i was so happy i got to see this show when they came to florida, i cant decide if i like this or Quidam the best, maybe its a tie.
nancy
what a gorgeous trampoline act!
Amazingly beautiful! I´m waiting this show in my city, in December
Absolutely wonderful. And I agree with nefertiti, the music was awesome. I saw Cirque du Soliel a few years ago, and was blown away!! K.
i just admire ANY body tat is in ANY of da shows for cirque du soleil, goodness, i dun think any body can get any betta than this! and its just incredible to still maintain tat energy and smile, i mean after like 2 set of sumersalts and backflips i would be tired, lol
That is beautiful, and powerful, and inspiring.
cirque can be described with only 1 word.... MAGIC!
Just beautiful!

Acabo de verlo en directo y aún estoy impresionada, perfecto como los demás espectáculos del circo del sol
Cada vez que lo veo, le encuentro algo nuevo, fantástico !!!
fantastic to watch - as always. thanks for posing.
.. класс !!!
После их выступления , жалко всех , кто занимается классическим балетом , ..ведь , так прыгнуть , зависнуть , ни кто не может из них .
I love the expressions on the performers faces :)
The 'slow' music in the middle is called: Valsapena
The rest is called: Irna
show: Alegria
Cirque du Soleil
@Nurias13 The song in the first half is called Irna, and the one sang by the two singers are called Valsapena. You can find the songs in the Alegria album. :)
So Beautiful! I love this, and what positively wonderful music!
It was so beautifully done.
and to think this started out as a street act... awesome :)
Cercanias de perfeccion!!! brutalmente asombroso:D!"
The beginning and ending song is called 'Irna' and can be found on the cirque CD
Excellent will try and catch a live performance one day.
Cool
In perfect time and everything
I've always wanted to see Cirque du Soleil
@tweakafolyph
René Dupéré wrote most of the music in Alegria. In this video, Francesca Gagnon and Eve Montpetit are the singers.
Just saw of show of them in Denmark, was the most amazing i've ever seen!
I love the slow-motion at 5:24!!! I really want to go see it!!!
Just saw this show today... was amazing, video definitely does not do it justice.
These people are from another planet!!!! Unbelievable
going to see them tomorrow in dubai.!cnt wait love them! yehh
That's one of the things that make it great!
i got this dvd for christmas and i was like 'WOOOOOOOOOOO!! XD' i tried doing the fastrack at my gym but failed miserably V_V SO COOL
@madampeach
The fast song is "Irna" while the slower, middle song is "Valsapena".
I usually sing songs when I have them stuck in my head, but I had no idea what they were singing in this one... so I took it upon myself to watch this video for about the 100th time! 8D
i love circ du soleil its so beautiful
I saw this Saturday and was AMAZING. It is so much better on the 2nd ROW!!!!
@kimberly2172
The singer in white is Francesca Gagnon. The singer in black is Eve Montpetit.
This is my favorite part!! It's so beatiful!!
That was when they were in Spain. ^^
I love their " Alegría" album the most. Gorgeous music.....yes the song sung here is from the "Alegría" album, track 12 but its name is not Alegría.
that was unbelievable!!!!
