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. Experience water inside the big top, jaw dropping acts and larger than life props in this unique production unlike any show you have ever seen before. Get ready to be transported to a surreal world of wonders!
When we arrived to the OC Fairgrounds, my son was amazed by the big-top style Grand Chapiteau! We traveled inside after gathering our required refreshments (a wide variety were offered at theme-park pricing $$) and were kindly offered a cushioned booster seat that fit the seating easily and elevated my son so he didn't miss any of the action! This amenity was a great bonus I hadn't considered but for which I was very grateful.
Having seen the show in January and knowing my son didn't care for loud volumes, I was prepared to help him "tone down" the music a little by wearing a set of wireless headphones over his ears. Fortunately, by the second half of the performance, he was so enthralled he didn't even remember to put the headphones on again!
When I asked him after the show what he thought, he said he gives it "500 thumbs up" and even today while walking home from school it was his chosen topic of conversation. Cirque du Soleil has a new fan in my guy! You don't want to miss this show if you have a chance to see it!
This brief video shows a small portion one of my son's favorite parts of of the show - the contortionist!
