I took a backstage tour of Cirque du Soleil’s Alegria and decided that instead of whipping out my trusty Canon, I would use my iPhone and Instagram the entire thing.
For more great posts about Cirque’s Alegria, please head over to and read this post by Scott Hepburn at Mommyality and then mosey on over to Pretty in the Queen City for a write-up by Amelia Keith.
Prepping for Russian Bar Practice.
Make-up and Wardrobe — just a small portion.
Chinese contortionist practicing.
Bird masks waiting to come to life.
Gear — Alegria requires 18 trucks.
Russian Bar practice is intense!
