Wowing audiences since 1998, the La Nouba Cirque du Soleil show is a definite must-see show. Located in Downtown Disney, Cirque du Soleil La Nouba is just a short drive away in your Orlando car rental from anywhere in the Orlando or Kissimmee area. An intense party of the imagination, La Nouba features an original music score, energetic choreography and over 90 minutes of non-stop physical action.

Founded in Quebec by a group of French-Canadian street performers, the Cirque du Soleil performance company has literally reinvented the circus, showcasing awe-inspiring feats of physical endurance and human spectacle. The La Nouba show, which translates roughly to "The Party", is one of three shows performed by Cirque du Soleil, providing Orlando Car Rental customers with access to some of the world's most talented performers. Put on by a cast of over 70 international dancers, gymnasts and artists, La Nouba combines fantasy with reality creating an attraction that's simply unlike anything else in Orlando.

Cirque du Soleil's La Nouba show is based on extremes. Intentionally created with a flexible story line, the show features two distinct groups: the urban folk and the circus performers. Designed as an imaginative exercise, La Nouba pushes the limits of comprehension and disbelief. Colorful costumes and lively music enhance the show's overall appeal as jugglers, contortionists, trapeze artists and musicians act out a surreal circus spectacle. Not a word is spoken during the shows entirety, as performers use their bodies and talents to portray a fragmented story of fun and fantasy. A spectacular show for Orlando Car Rental customers from all backgrounds, La Nouba is set against a black backdrop providing high-contrast images between the florescent lights and colorful costumes. Performers in the show include clowns, acro-gymnasts, cyclists, musicians, vocalists, tumblers and equilibrists.

The La Nouba showcase is broken into nine distinct acts, each of which lasts for approximately 10 minutes. These acts, which range from trampoline performers to high wire funambulists, provide audience members with edge-of-your-seat excitement and pulse-pounding suspense. Top acts in the show include the Diabolos (four 14-year-old Chinese yo-yo masters), the Velos (cyclists) and the resident strong man trampoline performance. Performers in the show represent 10 different nationalities, which helps to add a further dash of exoticism to the show.

Musicians and vocalists are also utilized throughout the show, providing the performers with intense background music and chilling melodies. If you can manage to tear your eyes away from the action on stage long enough, American Car Rental encourages all of its Orlando car rental customers to seek out these exceptional musical performers. The musicians are all hidden inside of the huge 75 foot towers that frame the stage, but the vocalists can be found around the outskirts of the action, partially hidden by columns or within shadowed windowpanes.

Performed in the first freestanding, permanent structure ever built for Cirque du Soleil, La Nouba utilizes state-of-the-art technology from both Disney Imagineering and the Cirque's own unique staging system. Part circus and part theater, La Nouba is all entertainment, providing Orlando Car Rental customers with the ultimate escape from reality. Housed inside the 1671 seat "big-top" theater, La Nouba has everything you'd expect from a circus - except for the animals. All of the acts performed at La Nouba are based on human talents and expertise, showcasing an unusual mix of flexibility, musicality and undeniable skill. A must-see attraction for the entire family, La Nouba is currently one of Orlando's highest rated live shows.

Highly recommended for customers of all ages, La Nouba currently runs Tuesdays through Saturdays with shows beginning at 6:00pm and at 9:00pm. Ticket prices range from $43 to $117 (plus tax) and they may be reserved up to six months in advance.
