 Once
upon a time, a door opened and two worlds collided.
Dreams clashed with reality. The mundane mixed
with the marvelous. It was no longer possible to
tell where one world began and the other ended.
This
new place was called La Nouba - and you found it
at Cirque du Soleil!
This
is one show that you've just got to see!!!!
Who
can resist the circus? There is a curious invitation
that calls out from this huge, overpowering circus
tent at Downtown Disney's Westside. The white canvas
shell with its soaring peaks, tower above you at
over 90ft - seeming to be held to the earth only
by an occasional stake. A windowless structure that
promises an adventure to all who enter, a momentary
escape from reality. It's within all of us, this
curiosity about the traveling road-show and the amazements
that it brings.
The
1,671-seat showroom is the first freestanding permanent
theatre ever built for Cirque du Soleil. The dynamic
white structure was designed to convey elegance and
sensuality with the addition of fabric and tension
reminiscent of a Big Top.
The contrasting black showroom interior transports
the audience to another world as soon as they enter
the theatre.
The
set on the Elizabethan-style stage is similar to
a well-traveled path. Gaze upward and look at the
seven Fabulous Figures that decorate the ceiling.
The musicians perform on two platforms housed in
the 75-foot towers rising on both sides of the stage.
This
Cirque du Soleil creation is an unforgettable journey
through this universe - at once threatening and exhilarating,
frightening and familiar. La Nouba is the story of
all stories, the site of all mysteries, where dreams
and nightmares sleep side by side. La Nouba is memory,
individual and universal. It beckons to us, challenges
us to uncover passions we thought we had lost long
ago. Here, anything is possible.
 With
an international cast of more than 70 artists, the
Cirque du Soleil theatre, located in the heart of
Downtown Disney West Side at Walt Disney World Resort,
welcomes more than 1,650 spectators twice daily,
five days a week.
Thu to Mon 6:00pm till 9:00pm
Always book to see La Nouba (Click
here to buy tickets). Don't just turn
up at Westside to get seats, as during peak times and
days, the theatre is full and you will be disappointed.
Try and get a seat midway up the rows. Don't go too
close to the 'stage' area, or you'll end up with a
stiff neck from looking upward!
Take the Highway 192 to Disney World Drive exit and
follow signs for Downtown Disney. Turn onto Buena Vista
Drive and follow the road until you see Cirque du Soleil
on your left. Turn left at the next intersection lights
and park.
Ample parking is provided in front of Cirque du Soleil
at Downtown Disney Westside car parks. On busy days
(weekends especially), we recommend that you use the
car valet service at the front of Cirque. It will save
you time when you depart.
