Cirque du Soleil's LUZIA Returns to Atlanta

A Dazzling Journey Awaits!

By Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group October 15, 2024

Cirque du Soleil is coming to back to North America with its delightfully-imaginative and visually-stunning production LUZIA, a waking dream of Mexico. The show will be in four cities including New York City, Montreal, Washington D.C and Atlanta. From November 9 to December 14, 2025, Atlanta audiences are invited under the Big Top at Atlantic Station to escape to an imaginary Mexico – a sumptuous world suspended between dreams and reality.

In a series of grand visual surprises and breathtaking acrobatic performances, LUZIA takes audiences on a surrealistic journey through a vibrant world filled with wonders, playfulness and striking artistry. Smoothly passing from an old movie set to the ocean to a smoky dance hall or an arid desert, LUZIA cleverly brings to the stage multiple places, faces and sounds of Mexico taken from both tradition and modernity. Rich in awe-inspiring moments, LUZIA enchants by incorporating rain into acrobatic and artistic scenes – a first for a Cirque du Soleil touring production.




“Luzia is Cirque du Soleil at its peak.”

‘A dazzling celebration of human skill and ingenuity’

With mesmerizing and refreshing acrobatic performances, LUZIA brings traditional and contemporary circus disciplines to a whole new level. 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. Hoop Diving is taken onto gigantic treadmills, expanding exponentially the speed and amount of daring leaps executed. Jaw-dropping highlights include a male contortionist skillfully twisting his body in the world’s most unimaginable positions, a powerful Aerial Straps specialist defying the laws of gravity at the center of a cenote (natural sinkhole), a juggler tossing seven pins at breakneck speed, and two football (soccer) freestylers deftly mixing street dance with mind-blowing ball manipulation.
