Cirque du Soleil in Malaga

TICKETS for Cirque du Soleil’s critically-acclaimed production ‘Alegria’ in Malaga next week are selling fast, the company said.

The shows feature an international cast of 55 performers and musicians from 17 countries and showcases breathtaking acrobatics. They take place at Malaga City’s Palacio Deportes Martin Carpena Thursday next week to Sunday.

Cirque du Solei will perform Alegria in two other Spanish cities: Santiago de Compostella December 7-11 and Zaragoza December 14-18.

Tickets are priced €25-€65. Ten million people have seen Alegria worldwide. Acts include the Synchro Trapeze and the intense and high-energy Aerial High Bars in which daring aerialists fly to catchers swinging more than 40 feet above the stage.

The vibrancy of youth is alive in Power Track, a brilliant display of synchronized choreography and tumbling on a trampoline system hidden under the stage floor.

In Russian Bars, artists fly through the air and perform spectacular somersaults and mid-air turns, landing on bars perched on the sturdy shoulders of catchers.
