La Nouba

There is nothing like it anywhere..


With it's permanent residence at DownTown Disney, La Nouba combines fantasy, charm, exotic, the unimaginable, acrobatics, and highly skill performers in one show. From the Diabolos Arial Cradle & Ballet to the BMX Bikers, from the high-wire to the iconic Green Bird, the circus-like performance will dazzle you from one act to the next.

La Nouba features a very unique cast of characters including Oneill Langlois, The Titan, Aerial Ballet, Les Cons, The Fat Lady, Carlos Marcio, The Green Bird, The Lost Ballerina, The Pierrot Clown, The Musicians, The Diabolos, The Clowns, and many more.

Dressed in green and red tights, acrobats jump on trampolines on the floor catapulting them up to the top of a tall building. The highly precision choreography allows multiple performers to execute technically difficult syncopated feats.

Without a double, Cirques major crowd pleaser is the four charming Chinese girls that perform both aerial cradle and ballet stunts simultaneously. Balancing a weight between two sticks, these talented dolls perform twirls, jumps, flips and magical ballet with ease before your very eyes.

As the shows rather odd people, Les Cons, four nutty characters find themselves in the middle of all the action somewhat participating and mimicking what they see. All dressed in white, this group of bumbling clowns create a bridge between the real and surreal, between La Nouba and the audience.

Green Bird, the iconic face of La Nouba, is the multi-colored bird that never learned to fly. In her bright yellow, pink, and red feathered costume finds herself trying to mimic other aerial stunts but unable to fly.

In a fast-paced society, La Nouba's two clowns Balto & Serguei, bring some sense of relief. Interaction with the audience is common as they playfully regress to your child-like nature. Unbeknownst to everyone, these two will get anyone involved in their antics in a moments notice. One moment they may fight cowboys & Indian and on the next be scaling a mountain on the moon. Don't miss this outrageous pre-show comedy act filled with all kinds of surprises.

Unlike any other, the chair act features a solo performer, table, and 8 chairs. Bedazzled as the acrobat defies the laws of gravity and physics. Be mesmerized as chairs continue to be stacked elevating the acrobat up to 25 feet in the air. As the agile acrobat balances haplessly upon tottering chairs, the performer attempts to light the last candle on a chandelier. Rising nearly 41 feet, higher and higher above the stage, the candle is lit generating a thunderous applause..

As the spotlight shines the BMX cyclist rolls in standing on his handle bars for the opening act. Dressed in casual blue pants and yellow shirt, the astute artist performs highly technical twists, one-wheel spins, and gymnastic turns. With highly precise footwork, the cyclist further dazzles the crowd with amazing tricks ranging from G-turns to boomerangs, mega spins to gymnastic stunts. As the cleaning lady watches and Les Cons get into the act, second act features another biker whose stunts include riding over obstacles, hopping the steps between the audience, and jumping off high platforms. As the Les Cons lay on the floor for the next act, a guest is selected from the crowd as a hurdle.
