In absence of a king, the court’s fool, Mr. Fleur, pictures himself as the legitimate heir to the throne and clumsily tries to impose his authority on the kingdom.
Fanciful and unpredictable, Mr. Fleur is caught between his playful urge to charm and his desire to control. As his grip fades away, Mr. Fleur realizes that true power comes from within.
In the stuffy old world, the Aristocrats are the heirs to power. They seek to retain their privileges and maintain the status quo at all costs by siding with Mr. Fleur.
You can see their thirst for power manifested in their strangely distorted faces and on their hackneyed attire, as they do all they can to maintain the established order.
Deprived of aristocratic privilege, the Bronx spring forth from the street to vigorously defy the established order, and trigger change throughout the kingdom.
Young and fiery, the Bronx dress in earth tones to symbolize their youth and street origins. Their costumes embrace the muscular bodies of the performers to illustrate the power and energy of this revolutionary movement.
The Angels are guardians of the kingdom and its inhabitants. Imbued with humanity, they come from the afterlife to inspire hope and harmony with their celestial energy.
The scars of their life on Earth can be seen on their luminous white costumes, adorned with golden hues, sparkling jewels and a gold star worn over their solar plexus.
The Singer in White and The Singer in Black are two sides of the same spirit. They are opposite yet complementary forces who express the story of Alegría in harmony.
While one sings with tenacity and the indomitable power of hope, the other echoes everything she sees with a naive sense of joy and happiness. Together, they create an unstoppable force.
At first Mr. Fleur’s allies, the Clowns also have fun at his expense. Brothers in humor, this pair of zany Aristocrats is at ease in this crazy environment and make light of any situation through the power of friendship and imagination.
