Synopsis

Through The Masks Of Luzia, based on the acclaimed Cirque du Soleil show, is a celebration of Mexican culture, shrouded in surrealism and dreamlike fantasy. Journey through uncanny worlds of mythical proportions: a demigod swings across the gateway to the Mayan afterlife, a contortionist grants you access to the awe-inspiring wildlife, a monarch butterfly dances, evoking the celerity of the Tarahumara people. With all this and more, prepare for the waking dream of Through the Masks of Luzia.
