Luzia, Cirque du Soleil- Pole Dance

Cirque de Soleil again illustrates that a magnificent show is never one with the cruelty of animal exploitation. 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 at the core of the show’s creation. Luzia has a cast of 44 artists from 15 countries and is Cirque du Soleil’s 38th production since 1984, and its 17th show presented under the Big Top.
