Watching Alegria Cirque du Soleil has the same bizarre quality as antering into a surreal dream. The baroque-style circus will be presented at Budweiser Events Center for eight performances running Wednesday, Jan. 26, through Sunday, Jan. 30.

The orchestration features a variety of music such as jazz, pop, tango and klezmer, a type of harmony derived from the Ashkenazic Jews of Eastern Europe with expressive melodies reminiscent of the human voice, complete with laughing and weeping.
