Cirque du Soleil Luzia
Luzia takes you to an imaginary Mexico, where light helps the spirit, and rain soothes the soul.
The show is like a waking dream, taking audiences from an old movie set to an undersea world, and from a cenote to a city alleyway, passing smoothly from an urban setting to the natural world, from the past to the present via fascinating Mexican mythology and traditions. Breathtaking acrobatic performances feature and water has been integrated into this year’s performances.
