Cirque du Soleil ALIZÉ Tickets

What the show is about

A young dreamer called Alizé is carried off to strange worlds by a gust of wind. On her way she meets a couple separated by a tornado, an introverted surrealist, a harpist and Éole, the voice of the wind. In ALIZÉ, Cirque du Soleil combines acrobatics with magie nouvelle, illusions created live on stage. The world premiere took place in Berlin on 20 November 2025.

Who the show is for

ALIZÉ suits families, couples and groups, including visitors who speak no German. Loud noises, dark scenes and strobe lighting are part of the show; ear protection is recommended for children.

A resident show in Berlin

ALIZÉ is Cirque du Soleil's first resident show in Europe and plays only in Berlin, with no closing date planned. During the Berlinale the show takes a break of several weeks; in winter 2027 it pauses from late January to mid-March. Most performances are at weekends, with two shows a day, plus evening shows on some weekdays.

Getting to Potsdamer Platz

The Theater am Potsdamer Platz is at Marlene-Dietrich-Platz 1, 10785 Berlin. Take the U2 to Potsdamer Platz or Mendelssohn-Bartholdy-Park, or the S1, S2 or S25 to Potsdamer Platz. Buses 200, 347, M48 and M85 stop at Varian-Fry-Straße. By car, park in the underground car parks at Potsdamer Platz or on Ludwig-Beck-Straße, which also has disabled parking.

Doors and bags

The foyer opens one hour before the show. There is no box office at the theatre for same-day tickets, so bring your ticket with you. Bags up to A4 size are allowed; backpacks and larger bags stay outside, and umbrellas and bike helmets go to the cloakroom. The cloakroom charges a fee and takes cards only.

The performance

The show lasts about 2 hours and 5 minutes, with a 25-minute interval after the first half. Photos and videos are not allowed. Payment inside the theatre is cashless, and you may not bring your own food or drink.

With children and wheelchair access

ALIZÉ is recommended from age 3 and is not suitable for children aged 2 and under. Every child aged 3 or over needs their own seat; booster seats are available at the entrance. The theatre is partly accessible: wheelchair spaces and accessible toilets are on the second floor, and you book wheelchair tickets through the show's customer service.

Cancellation

Tickets are non-refundable, so check the date and time before you pay. Reduced children's tickets cannot be booked with this offer. How to get from Potsdamer Platz to the other theatres is under Plan your visit; for a show in the big revue theatre, see the Friedrichstadt-Palast.

Buying direct

The show's promoter runs the official advance sale through an online ticket shop, which also offers reduced tickets and a rebooking upgrade.
