Photo Flash: Sneak Peek at Cirque du Soleil's LUZIA, Coming to San Jose
LUZIA by Cirque du Soleil, currently wowing audiences under the redesignEd White-and-gold Big Top at AT&T Park (corner of Third St. and Terry A. Francois Blvd) in San Francisco through Sunday, January 29, 2017, will be premiering under the Big Top at Taylor Street Bridge (corner of Taylor Street & Highway 87) in San Jose beginning Thursday, February 9 through Sunday, March 19, 2017. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the show below!
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. 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. LUZIA is a poetic and acrobatic ode that awakens your senses and transports you to a place suspended between dreams and reality. Featuring a cast of 44 performers. LUZIA surprises with acrobatic performances breaking down the barriers, such as incorporating water into contemporary circus disciplines.
LUZIA is Cirque du Soleil's 38th original production since 1984, and its 17th show presented under the Big Top. The company has brought wonder and delight to 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.
