Amaluna, Cirque du Soleil’s Mother of a Show, Extends

Cirque du Soleil’s Amaluna, is extending its stay in New York City. Written and directed by Tony winner Diane Paulus (Pippin), the show will now play through May 18 at on the grounds of Citi Field in Queens (home of the New York Mets). The show, which begins performances on March 20, will officially open on March 27.

A theatrical acrobatic tribute to the work and voice of women, Amaluna is a fusion of the words ama, which refers to “mother” in many languages, and luna, which means “moon,” a symbol of femininity that evokes both the mother-daughter relationship and the idea of goddess and protector of the planet.
