Angelenos will enjoy this bizarre colorfully costumed artists in “Amaluna,” Los Angeles on the LA Waterfront in San Pedro, CA is the place where Cirque du Soleil invites the audience to enjoy a great show that brings strength, sweetness and passion. This is a fusion of the words ama, which refers to “mother” in many languages, and luna, which means “moon”; a symbol of femininity that evokes both the mother-daughter relationship and the idea of goddess and protector of the planet. It is also the name of the mysterious island where this magical story unfolds.

 Although each Cirque production is top notch, spectators will notice fantastic acrobatics through a mysterious island governed by Goddesses and guided by the cycles of the moon. Their queen, Prospera, directs her daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony in a rite that honors femininity, renewal, rebirth and balance which marks the passing of these insights and values from one generation to the next.  In the wake of a storm caused by Prospera, a group of young men lands on the island, triggering an epic, emotional story of love between Prospera’s daughter and a brave young suitor. But theirs is a love that will be put to the test. The couple must face numerous demanding trials and overcome daunting setbacks before they can achieve mutual trust, faith and harmony.

Definitely, Los Angeles is lucky for a great spectacle like this, based on its original creativity, humor and athletic performances with Cirque du Soleil which is a great leader in artistic entertainment. These are the dates of performances April 25, 2019 – May 26, 2019.
