Cirque Du Soleil’s Luzia Set To Dazzle Audiences In A Final Australian Encore

The countdown is on! Cirque du Soleil’s LUZIA is set to dazzle Sydney from 24 November 2024 under the Big Top at The Entertainment Quarter, closing its Australian tour with a spectacular finale.

After setting a record for LUZIA in Brisbane, with over 120,000 tickets sold, LUZIA now makes its way to Sydney for its final stop. This is the last chance for Australians to witness this captivating spectacle before it leaves for New York.

Written and directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, in association with Brigitte Poupart, 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.

Touring across the nation since March, LUZIA’s final Australian run is a special homecoming for artist Nelson Smyles, who will perform in front of his hometown crowd. This unique production invites audiences to immerse themselves in an imaginary Mexico—a lush realm where dreams intertwine with reality. Get ready to be transported to this enchanting and visually stunning world during the show’s delightfully imaginative journey.

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.

With mesmerising 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 centre of a cenote (natural sinkhole), a juggler tossing seven pins at breakneck speed, and two football freestylers deftly mixing street dance with mind-blowing ball manipulation.

“This is just next level.”
