Inspired by the world's most beautiful light performances, Circo Alegría presents its latest show which combines circus, magic and technology. It is a sensory universe never seen before in Europe, which brings together international artists in a show that combines tradition and avant-garde and can be seen from 24 October to 18 January 2026 in the Big Top next to the Palacio de Hielo.
El Circo de la Luz (The Circus of Light) is the name of the latest production by Circo Alegría, which seeks to surprise the audience and critics alike with a totally innovative concept. The show combines contemporary circus, lighting technology and a poetic narrative that transports the audience to a magical universe.
Under the slogan “When dreams light up, excitement shines ”, this show invites the audience to dream with high-level acrobatic acts, aerial choreography, large-format light animals and immersive projections that turn the big top into a place full of mystery and excitement. This production pays tribute to the human’s capacity to shine in the dark.
The audience will be able to enjoy a stage design featuring an impressive, state-of-the-art LED screen, measuring more than 80 m2 . It is Europe’s largest LED screen in a touring show. There will also be unique creatures, such as luminous biomechanical animals, beings that seem to be born from the fusion between nature and technology.

The company has several shows, each of which follows a different plot. The company is characterised by its ability to merge traditional circus acts with the most modern and contemporary ones.
