Luzia – Adelaide

Big Top - Adelaide Showground Goodwood Rd, Wayville, Australia

A waking dream of Mexico 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. Through a series of grand visual surprises and breathtaking acrobatic performances, Luzia invites audiences to escape on a surrealistic journey through a sumptuous and vibrant world suspended somewhere between dreams and reality. 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.

Titizé Venice

Teatro Goldoni Via Enrico Mayer, 57, Venezia, Li, Italy

True to the language of dreams that brings back fleeting images, allusions and mirages, TITIZÉ is a show that carries the spectator into a rarefied and surreal universe. Its narrative, seemingly fragmented but deeply evocative, unfolds in a kaleidoscopic play that interweaves different planes of meaning, conjuring up a hyperbolic “grammelot.” “TITIZÉ,” “You are”: an emblematic word full of rhythm, whose evocative sound draws attention to the power of the verb “to be,” emphasizing the universality of an imagined experience to intimately engage a diverse audience of all ages. The show fuses tradition and innovation in a fascinating combination of clowning, the language of the body and acrobatics - which allows allusion, the creation of metaphors, and the amplification of emotions - and the use of innovative stage devices, resulting in a theatre of amazement and lightness, without the need for words. With a cast of eleven talented performers, including acrobats, actors and musicians, TITIZÉ invites the audience to immerse itself in the very essence of Venice, where the past and the present blend into one fascinating tale and the stories, scattered like seashells on the beach, each with its own beauty and mystery, are reconstructed into a precious mosaic.
