While there is never much question about what vacationers can do during the day in Orlando (Walt Disney World, SeaWorld, Universal Studios, etc., are the usual pastimes), many visitors aren’t sure what options there are in the way of nighttime fun in the city. After a long day of thrills and excitement at Orlando theme parks, visitors to Florida generally want to clean up, have a nice dinner, and then engage in something entertaining but relaxing. For this, we recommend a great Orlando show, such as Cirque du Soleil’s La Nouba. Exciting enough for youngsters who still have plenty of energy at the end of the day, yet a relaxing enough activity for wiped-out adults, La Nouba will entertain everyone in the family and make a great end to a fun summer day.

If you haven’t already seen La Nouba, you’ll definitely want to see this quirky and avant-garde spectacle, which is currently returning from a spring hiatus that lasted through a good part of May. Performances resume tomorrow, June 2, in Downtown Disney’s West Side, where the exceptional theater built especially for Cirque du Soleil resides.

The only resident Cirque du Soleil show in Orlando, La Nouba is a visually astounding show that will mystify with its daring and incredible acrobatic acts. The title derives from the French phrase faire la Nouba, which means “to party” or “to live it up,” and this is evident in the energetic and colorful show, which keeps the entertainment constant with moving live music, opulent sets, brilliant choreography, and continuous feats of strength and grace.

The setting of La Nouba is a wondrous new world where dreams clash with reality, where mundane mixes with the marvelous, and it’s no longer possible to tell where one ends and the other begins. As the show weaves its way through this alternative universe and its characters attempt to make sense of it, audiences will be thrilled by scenes and acts that are threatening and exhilarating, frightening and familiar, and overall, passionate and wonderful.

Like all Cirque du Soleil shows, La Nouba is particularly extraordinary for its international cast of acrobats, athletes, and performance artists. Cirque always assembles a phenomenal group of performers, and the women and men that make La Nouba magical are no different; with more than 65 artists representing 15 countries, the show features incredible acts of coordination, balance, and athleticism, from traditional circus acts like the flying trapeze, aerial ballet, and high wire to the German wheels, Diabolos, power track/trampoline, and balancing on chairs.

And if you’ve never seen a Cirque du Soleil show before, La Nouba is a great one to start with; it features a loose storyline with recurring characters who will puzzle you, tug on your heartstrings, and make you laugh. By the end of the show, visitors feel the full purpose of the show’s beautiful feats and whimsical characters, which is to prove that even the impossible is possible.

A memorable show that will certainly be a highlight of your Orlando vacation, La Nouba is just one of the many great nighttime activities in the city. And as with all your Orlando fun, you can save on discount Cirque du Soleil tickets right here on OrlandoFunTickets.com.
