Cirque du Soleil: Luzia Reviews
Los Angeles Times- Somewhat Recommended
"...Still, the acts are mostly delicate. The show lacks, for instance, acrobats flying from trapeze to trapeze high overhead - the big-statement circus displays that more reliably induce gasps. So the powerful technology tends to steal attention. What's more, it fights against the mystic, ancient vision of Mexico for which writer-director Daniele Finzi Pasca and creative director Patricia Ruel, with inspiration from the late Julie Hamelin, seem to aim."
Stage and Cinema- Highly Recommended
"...More pageantry than plot, Luzia (which is sponsored by Forsythe Technology and, not incidentally, the government of Mexico) is the Cirque du Soleil's 38th original production since 1984 and the 17th under the Big Top. This touring treasure incarnates the southern republic - colonial heritage, Mayan magnificence or Aztec artistry (and with no wall in the way!). It lives to persuade us: The felicitas behind these souvenirs is absolutely real."
