Mind over matter, light over darkness, the cube man in a seemingly effortless manner dominates his instrument. Shunning open shows of strength in favour of the more subtle artistry evoked by sensual masculine movement, the performer manipulates the cube while suspended in the air or, in a stunning flurry of light, on the ground. Strong yet tender, natural and surreal the cube man evokes a higher authority in search of life's force.

Aerial Cube made its first appearance during Alegría's first North American Tour and featured a spectacular performance by Mikhail Matorin (its creator). Hailing from Russia, Mikhail took his metallic cube and spun it freely on the paul of his hand, juggling it behind his back and flying with it through the air. Mikhail continued to perform this act through NAT and Japan 1996.

For Europe Tour I (1997-1998), the torch was passed to Paul Bowler, a native Australian who learned the art and continued on the tradition. While Paul was busy on tour, Mikhail took up resident at Mystère. Paul continued on tour until the end of the European tour. He and his act did not join the show at the Beau Rivage (1999-2000) however; in 1999 Paul replaced Mikhail at Mystère and can still be seen there today.

The Aerial Cube performance was absent from Alegría's run for a number of years (from 1999 until 2004), when it was brough back for the Alegría 2 run in Japan/Hong Kong (2004-2005). Today the Aerial Cube is once again an intricate part of the show, as an Act in Rotation.
