Cirque du Soliel’s newest creation, Amaluna, makes its way to Sun Life Stadium in December. Slated for a six-week Miami run, the show features high-wire acts, musicians, tumblers, performers and actors. Nearly 50 performers from more than 15 nations take part in the two-hour spectacle, which also includes a 20-minute intermission.
Amaluna tells the tale of a love story between the queen’s daughter and one young man, part of a group who washed ashore on a remote island governed by a goddesses. The show runs from December 11 through January 25 in the parking lot outside the stadium. The run includes weekend matinees, with two performances on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The show is Cirque du Soleil’s 33rd production since the troupe began in 1984. Amaluna debuted in Montreal in 2012. Nearly three-quarters of the performers in the production are female. All of the musicians are female.
Before each show, performers circulate through the crowd to get everyone in the mood. The performance begins with the coming-of-age ceremony for the queen’s daughter. Suddenly, a group of shipwrecked me arrive on the island of the goddesses. When the princess falls in love with one of the strangers, the island is thrown into turmoil.
“The couple must face numerous demanding trials and overcome daunting setbacks before they can achieve mutual trust, faith and harmony,” according to the show’s producers.
