Cirque du Soleil is in town until April 25, and we invite you to come out in large numbers to see the show LUZIA!
Le Soleil de la Floride (LSDLF) spoke with Émilie Laberge, Senior Manager of Group and Corporate Sales for Cirque du Soleil (CDS).
LSDLF: How would you describe Cirque du Soleil’s Quebec heritage in a show like LUZIA presented here in Florida?
CDS: « This heritage translates into an ability to combine technical prowess and visual poetry, while creating a deeply human experience. Even though the show is inspired by Mexican culture, we recognize Cirque du Soleil’s Quebec signature: an openness to the world, a respect for cultures, and a desire to bring together very diverse audiences around a shared moment.“
She adds: ”Presenting LUZIA in Florida also means bringing this Quebec spirit to an international context. Cirque du Soleil brings with it a tradition of artistic excellence, but also a warm and inclusive approach to entertainment that naturally resonates with Florida audiences, whether they are locals, visitors, or members of Quebec communities established in the South. »
LSDLF: What sets LUZIA apart from other Cirque du Soleil productions?
CDS: « Presented under the Big Top in Miami, LUZIA stands out for its dazzling visual universe and a feat rarely seen on stage: the actual use of water, integrated into the acrobatics and scenography. Inspired by Mexican culture, the show transports the audience into a world that is both festive and poetic, carried by live music and performances of great virtuosity.“
LSDLF: What elements of the show will particularly appeal to Quebecers living in or visiting Florida?
CDS: ” Florida is home to a large Quebecois community, and LUZIA creates a natural link between the South and the North. For many, attending a Cirque du Soleil show in Miami is like rediscovering a familiar artistic signature in a sunny and exotic setting. The show’s bright colors, warm atmosphere, and energy are perfectly in tune with the spirit of Miami. «
What types of groups does CDS hope to attract to Miami for LUZIA?
A wide variety of groups: local and international companies, associations, community groups, corporate travelers and snowbird communities, visitors passing through, and families living in Florida. A truly unifying cultural outing, LUZIA offers an immersive experience that goes far beyond the performance! Émilie Laberge explains: “In Miami, Cirque du Soleil also offers packages tailored to groups and companies, including reception areas and hospitality experiences, which transform the cultural outing into a true social or corporate event.” Social groups also benefit from advantageous rates and simplified logistics.
LSDLF: What message would you like to send to Quebecers in Florida who are getting ready to discover LUZIA?
CDS: « LUZIA is an invitation to experience a unique moment of escape under the Big Top in the heart of Miami.
For Quebecers in Florida, it’s an opportunity to rediscover a cultural gem from home in a different, bright, and festive setting. […] It’s a powerful cultural outing that fits naturally into Florida’s entertainment offerings and promises to make a lasting impression on spectators. »
