The World of Luzia:  Water as a source of inspiration.  Integrating the element of water adds a level of acrobatic complexity never-before-seen under the Big Top at Cirque du Soleil. Cyr Wheel artists perform the unprecedented feat of rolling and spinning under the rain, while an aerialist suspended from a Trapeze flies and twirls through pouring showers.  LUZIA is showing from January 10 thru February 24, 2019 at the Sam Houston Race Park, Houston Texas  USA.

 

 

About LUZIA  

A WAKING DREAM OF MEXICO

LUZIA takes you to an imaginary Mexico, like in a waking dream, where light (“luz” in Spanish) quenches the spirit and rain (“lluvia”) soothes the soul. With a surrealistic series of grand visual surprises and breathtaking acrobatic performances, LUZIA cleverly brings to the stage multiple places, faces and sounds of Mexico taken from both tradition and modernity.

 


The World of Luzia:  A set of multiple faces.  LUZIA takes audiences from an old movie set to the ocean to the semi-desert to an undersea world to a cenote to the jungle to a city alleyway to a dance salon – passing smoothly from an urban setting to the natural world, past to present, tradition to modernity.  LUZIA is showing from January 10 thru February 24, 2019 at the Sam Houston Race Park, Houston Texas  USA.

 

 


The World of Luzia:  Surreal menagerie. The fascination of the Mexican people for the animal world is as evident in the country’s traditions and mythology as it is in its traditional arts and crafts. The world of LUZIA is populated by surrealistic animals of all sizes.  LUZIA is showing from January 10 thru February 24, 2019 at the Sam Houston Race Park, Houston Texas  USA.

 

 


The World of Luzia:  Breaking down the barriers.  LUZIA explores the combination of hoop diving – a traditional circus discipline from China – and two giant treadmills to generate speed and expand exponentially the amount of daring leaps executed.  LUZIA is showing from January 10 thru February 24, 2019 at the Sam Houston Race Park, Houston Texas  USA.
