Cirque du Soleil: Alegria

Franco Dragone, Nick Morris

Ebon Grayman, Francesca Gagnon

A far cry from the dialogue-free circus performances Cirque du Soleil is known for, Alegria chronicles the fate of a small boy who has been forced into slavery. Eventually, he learns that in order to free himself and the other children, he must defeat a fire-breathing or an equally tough but decidedly more philosophical inner dragon.
