What is Cirque Du Soleil LUZIA?
LUZIA is a spellbinding Cirque du Soleil production that transports you into a dreamlike vision of Mexico, where light (“luz”) and rain (“lluvia”) transform the stage into a world of wonder. Blending awe-inspiring acrobatics, vivid visuals, and a captivating live score, LUZIA draws inspiration from Mexico’s rich culture, nature, and mythology.
What sets LUZIA apart is its groundbreaking use of water—the first Cirque du Soleil touring show to feature it as a central element. A mesmerizing rain curtain and immersive water effects create live, ever-changing imagery, adding a whole new layer of magic to the performance.
Since its premiere in Montréal in 2016, LUZIA has wowed audiences worldwide. From daring aerial acts to thrilling hoop dives, each moment celebrates artistry, imagination, and technical brilliance.
Perfect for all ages, the show runs about 125 minutes, including a 25-minute intermission—just enough time to catch your breath before diving back into the spectacle.
Catch LUZIA at the Old Port of Montréal (Quai Jacques-Cartier) from May 15 to August 24, 2025.
