Performers Nelson Smyles and Olivia Aepli wowed crowds ahead of the LUZIA run in Philadelphia this weekend. Check out the photos below!

LUZIA is in performances at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center through June 7. Tickets can be purchased at Cirque du Soleil's website.

Luzia is a Cirque du Soleil show inspired by the richness of the Mexican culture. The name Luzia fuses the sound of luz ("light" in Spanish) and lluvia ("rain"), two elements that are represented heavily in show's storyline.

Luzia has a cast of 44 artists from 15 countries; it is Cirque du Soleil's 38th production since 1984, and its 17th show presented under the Big Top. Its creative team comprises 16 creators under the artistic guidance of director Daniele Finzi Pasca.
