Cirque du Soleil coming to Israel

For the first time since its establishment in 1984, Canadian circus arts and street entertainment company Cirque du Soleil will perform in Israel from August 8 to 18 with its fascinating show "Alegria". Israeli producer Shuki Weiss, together with international producer Mark Liberberg, said it took a long time to bring the show to Israel. The talks included repeated inquiries aimed at guaranteeing that the show would be technically staged in Israel the way it has been viewed by more than 10 million people across the world. "Alegria", created in 1994 and directed by Franco Dragone and Guy Laliberté, presents Cirque du Soleil's fascinating interpretation of the battle between classes and generations. It includes breathtaking acrobatic segments through sensational choreography within a bizarre and very impressive world of fantasy, with 55 actors wearing more than 400 costumes.
