Due to popular demand, Cirque du Soleil is adding 47 performances of its delightfully-imaginative and visually-stunning production LUZIA, a waking dream of Mexico. Opening on November 6, audiences are invited under the Big Top at Atlantic Station to escape to an imaginary Mexico – a sumptuous world suspended between dreams and reality. Tickets for the general public are available via www.cirquedusoleil.com/luzia.


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.” The New York Times


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.

CIRQUE DU SOLEIL CORTEO RETURNS TO ATLANTA

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 8/7/24

From August 15-18, 2024 at Gas South Arena in Duluth
Tickets available now.

Corteo, the most enchanting arena production from Cirque du Soleil, is back in North America and heading to Duluth, set to charm audiences in August. This unique production, directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, first premiered in Montreal in April 2005. Since its creation, the show has amazed over 10 million spectators, in 20 countries, on four continents. Corteo will be presented at the Gas South Arena for six shows only from August 15-18, 2024.

Corteo, which means cortege in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. The show brings together the passion of the actor with the grace and power of the acrobat to plunge the audience into a theatrical world
of fun, comedy and spontaneity situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth.


The clown pictures his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere, watched over by quietly caring angels.
Juxtaposing the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of
imperfection, the show highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate
the portion of humanity that is within each of us. The music turns lyrical and playful carrying Corteo through a timeless
celebration in which illusion teases reality.

In a Cirque du Soleil first, the stage is central in the arena and divides the venue, with each half of the audience facing
the other half, giving a unique perspective not only of the show, but also a performer’s eye view of the audience. An
atmosphere like never seen before in Cirque du Soleil arena shows. The set curtains, inspired by the Eiffel Tower, and
the central curtains, which were hand painted, give a grandiose feel to the stage. This sets the tone for the poetry of
Corteo.
