Cirque Du Soleil return to London stage with daring theatrical spectacular Luzia – review
Luzia was one of the last major productions we caught pre-pandemic, as it made its European debut at the Royal Albert Hall in spring 2020.
We’re pleased that Cirque Du Soleil have brought this show back – billing itself as “a waking dream of Mexico”, the whole production exudes a surreal, dreamlike quality, quite unlike anything else on London’s stages at the moment.
Proving that sometimes more is more, over the course of the evening we were presented with a dazzling array of circus routines, each more impressive than the last, with some of the later set-pieces eliciting audible gasps from the audience.
Stepping back for a moment, we’re not convinced this version of the show is quite as polished as the one we’d seen previously – and that’s understandable, given that many of these performers will have had to take some enforced time off due to the pandemic.
