A Premiere Under the Big Top at Tysons II
Cirque du Soleil returns to the Washington region this fall with LUZIA: A Waking Dream of Mexico, transforming Tysons II into a dazzling world of light and rain. From September 6 through October 19, 2025, audiences will gather under the iconic Big Top to experience one of the most imaginative productions ever staged by Cirque du Soleil.
The Story of LUZIA
The name LUZIA intertwines the Spanish words luz (light) and lluvia (rain). Guided by these elements, the production follows a parachuted traveler across surreal landscapes that pay homage to Mexico’s culture, mythology, and natural beauty. Scenes drift seamlessly from an old film set to the desert, from an ocean vista to a vibrant dance hall—blending tradition with modernity in a kaleidoscope of sound and motion.
Audiences will encounter contortionists illuminated by candlelight, high-speed hoop divers leaping through air, and a Russian swing act beneath a glowing red moon. In a groundbreaking first for Cirque du Soleil, water is incorporated directly into the acrobatics, with thousands of gallons recycled and reused throughout the run.
Refill the Wonder with PATH
Just as LUZIA transforms light and rain into living art, PATH Water transforms how we think about water itself. The partnership feels natural: the show’s dazzling cascades and aquatic illusions mirror PATH’s mission to keep our planet’s waters flowing free of single-use plastics. Every acrobatic splash under the Tysons Big Top resonates with PATH’s pledge to “refill, not landfill” — proving that performance and purpose can move in the same rhythm.
Take a Leap with Cabernet and Cirque
Cirque du Soleil is inviting Washingtonians to step into the extraordinary this fall — and thanks to sponsors like Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, the leap feels as smooth as a glass of their legendary Cabernet. Much like the daring artistry of LUZIA, Stag’s Leap built its reputation on bold risks and world-class rewards, cemented by its victory at the Judgment of Paris. Pairing the imaginative spectacle of Cirque with the exploratory spirit of a winery that reshaped Napa Valley, audiences in Tysons can expect an evening that dazzles on every level.
Ticketing and Pricing
Performances will run weekly, offering matinee and evening options. Tickets start at $60, with prime weekend performances ranging up to $100 for premium seating. Families will find flexible options, with VIP and group packages also available. LUZIA Tickets – Cirque du Soleil
