Stay tuned for more on this gorgeously phenomenal show...
Alegria is a personal favorite..and I haven't even seen it live yet! It's definitely a life goal....it's breathtaking....The official description says "Alegría is a mood, a state of mind. The themes of the show, whose name means "jubilation" in Spanish, are many. Power and the handing down of power over time, the evolution from ancient monarchies to modern democracies, old age, youth—it is against this backdrop that the characters of Alegría play out their lives. Kings' fools, minstrels, beggars, old aristocrats and children make up its universe, along with the clowns, who alone are able to resist the passing of time and the social transformations that accompany it."
Dare to join countless others who have witnessed this beautiful jaunt through imagination..
