Cirque du Soleil returning to Marymoor Park next year with Mexico-inspired ‘Luzia’

Cirque du Soleil will return to Marymoor Park with its latest production, “Luzia,” from March 30-April 30, 2017.

Audiences are invited to a redesigned white-and-gold Big Top to escape to an imaginary Mexico – an intricate world suspended somewhere between dreams and reality.

Tickets are now on sale at www.cirquedusoleil.com/luzia. Cirque Club membership is free and benefits includes access to advance tickets, special offers and exclusive behind the scenes information. To join, visit www.cirqueclub.com.

“Luzia” takes audiences to an imaginary Mexico, like in a waking dream, where light (“luz” in Spanish) quenches the spirit and rain (“lluvia”) soothes the soul.

Freely inspired by Mexico, “Luzia” is a poetic and acrobatic ode to the rich, vibrant culture of a country whose wealth stems from an extraordinary mix of influences and creative collisions — a land that inspires awe with its breathtaking landscapes and architectural wonders, buoyed by the indomitable spirit of its people.

The tableaux of “Luzia” weave an intricate, contemporary mosaic that awakens the senses and transports its audience to a place suspended between dreams and reality. Featuring a cast of 44 performers from diverse artistic backgrounds, the show includes acrobatic performances that break down barriers, such as integrating water into contemporary circus disciplines.

Various Prestige VIP packages giving access to select seats and a culinary pre-show experience are available for selected performances of “Luzia.” The exclusive VIP tent extends the show’s experience in a setting evoking the colors, flavors and effervescence of Mexico.

“Luzia” is Cirque du Soleil’s 38th original production since 1984, and its 17th show presented under the Big Top. The company has put on productions for more than 160 million spectators in more than 400 cities on six continents. Cirque du Soleil has close to 4,000 employees, including 1,300 performing artists from close to 50 different countries.
