Alegría is a mood, a state of mind. The themes of the show, whose name means "jubilation" in Spanish, are many.

Kings' fools, minstrels, beggars, old aristocrats and children make up its universe, along with the clowns, who alone are able to resist the passing of time and the social transformations that accompany it.
