Cirque du Soleil showcased the first 3 acts of its first European resident show called Cirque du Soleil Alizé, scheduled to premiere on November 20th. The private preview took place at the Theater am Potsdamer Platz in Berlin in front of selected guests and the media.
The capital’s largest theatre has been transformed into a dreamscape that surrounds the audience. This brand-new show, developed and rehearsed over many months, combines two artistic disciplines for the first time — acrobatics and magic — blending them into a new form called “Acromagic.” In ALIZÉ, groundbreaking acrobatic innovations merge with never-before-seen techniques of Magie Nouvelle to create an entirely new artistic expression.
Many breathtaking acts take place directly above the audience. The storyline extends beyond the stage into the auditorium, drawing spectators into an immersive experience.
Cirque du Soleil’s 54th original production — and its first European resident show — has already attracted major attention both nationally and internationally. Even before the previews begin on October 24, more than 80,000 tickets have been sold for this surreal journey into the unimaginable. Cirque du Soleil ALIZÉ opens the skies above Berlin, revealing a poetic universe, unveiling the invisible, and offering a world beyond the ordinary.
Together with the show’s protagonists, the audience embarks on an adventurous journey filled with wonder, mystery, and enchantment — where the impossible becomes possible and the hidden reveals its secrets.
The Theater am Potsdamer Platz has been extensively redesigned and transformed for ALIZÉ to meet the unique demands of this complex, permanent production.
43 artists representing 21 countries form the cast of ALIZÉ. It took nearly 3 months, and more than 60 technicians to transform the stage and the theatre and make it ready to welcome this new production.
