Local audiences can now experience the magic of Wonderland as Cirque Alice takes the stage at The Theatre at Solaire, bringing Lewis Carroll’s beloved fantasy story to life through a fusion of circus artistry and theatrical performances. 

The two-hour production features a mix of aerialists, acrobats, contortionists, puppetry, comedy, and music, reimagining the curious world of Alice and its eccentric characters through breathtaking physical feats and imaginative performances.  

A soundtrack featuring newly arranged classical favorites also adds to the show’s lively atmosphere. 

Acclaimed producers Simon Painter and Tim Lawson are behind the production, which combines athleticism, music, and visual spectacle to offer audiences a fresh take on the familiar Wonderland adventure. 

For creative producer Simon, the classic tale provides the perfect setting for a circus production that brings together spectacle and storytelling.

We can’t wait to share this magical experience with audiences in Manila.”
