In 1984 when French-Canadians Guy Laliberte and Daniel Gauthier took their Quebec-bred street performance skills to craft the visually stunning Cirque du Soleil, little did they know the show would become an international phenomenon.

With a combination of circus acrobatics, creative costuming, a stunning musical soundtrack, and wildly varying thematic elements, Cirque du Soleil has a permanent home in Las Vegas, Montreal and several touring productions, one of which will make a stop at the Florence Civic Center, July 13-17, with its show “Alegria.”

With fantastic sets, precision choreography and the finest athletes and tumblers in the world, the show takes a trip through time with Cirque’s legendary flare and eye-popping performances.
