Poetically guided by light (‘luz’ in Spanish) and rain (‘lluvia’), LUZIA chronicles the encounters of a parachuted traveler with the culture, nature and mythology of a dreamlike land inhabited by a mystifying menagerie of characters. Refreshing and unexpected, LUZIA enchants by artistically incorporating water into the acrobatic presentation – a first for a Cirque du Soleil touring production.
In a series of grand visual surprises and breathtaking acrobatic performances, LUZIA takes audiences on a surreal escape to an imaginary Mexico – a sumptuously vibrant world suspended between dreams and reality.
Smoothly passing from an old movie set to the ocean to a smoky dance hall or an arid desert, LUZIA journeys through a colorful tapestry of multiple places, faces and sounds of Mexico taken from both tradition and modernity.

Integrating the element of water inside the Big Top represented a huge technical challenge on several fronts. The water must be filtered, disinfected and maintained at a constant 39° C for the well-being of the artists. All 10,000 litres of water used during the performance are recycled for the entire duration of a stay in a given city. Additionally, during the show, the water is drained from the stage through 94,657 holes where the water drains into a basin hidden underneath.
