A WAKING DREAM OF MEXICO

Welcome to the world of Luzia,

Cirque du Soleil's magnificent big top show inspired by the culture of Mexico.

The name Luzia combines the words "luz" and "julia" in Spanish,

which means light and rain, central elements to the show's creation.

Luzia's cast is made up of 44 artists from 15 different countries.

We take you behind the scenes to discover some of them

in a series of intimate portraits.

First, meet two of our Mexican stars,

Majo and Diana.

Music started in my life because I come from a family of musicians.

My dad is a guitarist. My mom is an opera singer. It was my destiny!

It was my destiny!

Pole dance is something that I love.

I feel like I'm breathing when I do my things.

And for me, it's a part of my heart saying something

with each movement, with each arm,

with each leg, with each movement of the hips.

This is a whole complete show of Cirque inspired in my country.

And I feel so blessed.

It is a way to show off the beauty of Mexico, our culture, our music,

who we are, our love of singing, partying and laughing out loud.

And it's like, very mysterious and very mystical.

It's something that makes you bind in the moment that you are there.

When I transport myself to the mood of the stage,

I just fly.

I feel like it is our responsibility as artists

to give something to every person who comes to see the show.

Whatever it is.

Fervour to fight for your life

or someone saying wow! What a nice body, I want to be like that!

That is what going on stage means for me.

To go out and always give everything you have. Always.

Always.

Marta, Devin, Maya & Dom

Now here's Marta, Devin, Maya and Dom,

hoop divers who are long-time friends,

in real life and on stage.

My name is Marta and I'm from San Francisco.

I'm Devin and yeah, I'm Marta's older brother.

We were always performing.

Like ever since we were little, we'd do like,

little festivals in the city or

they'd always put a big show on for us at the end,

we'd invite all our family and friends.

I kind of feel like that,

the career thing kind of just happened,

you know, it wasn't really like ever a plan,

it was just a fun after-school activity.

There's four of us from San Francisco.

We grew up together,

we've been very close ever since we were little,

and now we're all on tour together

and it's kind of like we have our own little family on stage.

Oh my God!

It's a trip. It's—being all four of us together,

for me it's like,

it's the dream.

It's like being able to do what we wanted to do as kids

again as adults

and then be paid for it on top of that

which is awesome.

There's seven of us on stage,

we have wings, we have beaks.

Like, doing hoop diving and trying to get through the hoops

doing acro on the floor is,

a challenge,

a challenge, exactly,

but then adding the movement of the treadmills

and the movement of the stage,

which once you jump if the stage is moving,

you know, you're not gonna land in the same spot

so you have to adjust.

We're like a head above the audience

and the audience is right around the ring of the stage so it's like,

end of the treadmill, first audience member right there,

so it's like, if you're falling off stage sometimes you're like

on your tippy toes.

No!

If you hit a trick, the audience kind of is more with you,

and then when you make it,

it's like the most exciting thing

and that's why I think people like watching hoop diving.

They want you to succeed.

Because they want you to succeed, yeah.

It's like a career

but it's also just our lives

that we get to spend together.

Ah! Ah!

Aleksei

Get ready for Aleksei,

the world's most flexible human being.

Makeup is kind of relaxing before the show.

You run through all the details.

All things that I found before the show,

that I want to add to the act.

And I go through mentally.

And it helps me a lot.

I started when I was four years old.

When I was four, I asked my mom to take me to a circus show.

Just to watch it.

I watched the show and loved it so much.

Since that moment, it was my dream to become a circus performer.

It didn't matter for me what kind of discipline I would do.

And then I asked her to take me to a circus studio.

When I came there, my coach said:

"OK. You are going to be a contortionist."

I was like: "OK."

Since that moment, I never stopped with this discipline.

And when I was eight years old,

I found out about Cirque du Soleil for the first time.

And since that moment, it became my dream to be part of this circus.

And now, I'm here.

So, my dream became true.

It's a big honor for me to be the most flexible human.

Some came from my birth, some came from training.

But it's, of course, a lot of training.

It usually takes me five or six hours a day to keep myself in good shape.

It's very important.

Pain? No.

It's kind of yoga.

So, if you do everything properly,

and you warm up properly before stretching,

everything is good.

People's reactions make me feel like…

I don't know how to explain that.

It's an indescribable feeling.

Sometimes, they're scared.

Sometimes, they're impressed.

And sometimes, they have no words to say.

To see people think they just saw a miracle,

that's the biggest motivation I can get.

Kelly & Grzegorz

Kelly and Grzegorz were both performers in Las Vegas

before beginning their journey with Cirque du Soleil.

Do you love me?

I do.

I love you too.

It's a very special relationship.

Well, I met you eight years—nine years ago.

Yes, but we didn't talk for seven years.

He's big and scary.

Or maybe I was scary,

I don't know why.

I was just observing.

And planning, creating a visual in my head,

what am I going to do with that nice little lady.

We had a nice backing team

and we often asked Kelly to join us.

And then we thought, why don't we create something together?

Through our act that we created actually,

we performed at some cabarets

and some different events and for charities,

and then we were asked to do

a specialty acts audition for Cirque du Soleil,

and not for anything specific,

so...

I think we wanted to challenge ourselves a little bit

and maybe get like a Cirque professional feedback.

So we got the offer and I think

it was pretty quickly after the audition.

We both were a little bit surprised,

what now,

OK, this wasn't in the plan.

I think that trust came right away with his background and,

thank you,

you're welcome. Thank you.

It definitely happens where

you can feel that something is a little bit wrong

and you trust your partners to make a quick decision to

catch or, for me, to make a quick decision on

how I'm gonna land if it's gonna be different.

Working with Kelly, you find out that even if you make a mistake,

I will do something wrong, she will catch me,

like she will not fall on the floor,

she will save herself,

so I have that confidence in her as well.

We complement each other a lot.

Yeah.

Abou

Abou brings an unusual mix of sports

and artistic performance to center stage.

I come from Guinea, that's my origin.

We really love soccer in my family.

My mom, my dad, we love watching soccer.

I have three brothers who also play,

we were all into soccer since we were very little.

My goal was to be a professional player

but I was seriously injured during a match

when I played for the Paris St-Germain team.

My older brother Iya Traoré is recognized internationally

for his "freestyle soccer" performance

so we started to perform together, we did street shows.

The enthusiasm it triggered in people,

the fact that he could get such reactions from a single soccer ball,

really motivated me.

I thought: "Ok. I'm not playing soccer anymore,

but I can follow my brother's footsteps,

and actually be better than him!"

I play with people, I move toward them, I smile.

I'm not always focused on my ball.

People love it, it makes them happy.

I keep amazing memories of the people I interact with.

Rachel Salzman

Angelica and Rachel were meant to be partners on the Cyr wheels.

They are simply so alike.

I'm Angelica Bongiovonni, I'm from Los Angeles, California, and I'm 26 years old.

I'm Rachel Salzman, I'm from New York City, and I'm 27 years old.

So, actually, when I showed up for the audition at the school,

having never seen a Cyr wheel,

immediately people were already like,

you're so much like Angie,

so much to the point that it became actually a joke

that if I like had ten cents for every time someone said I was just like Angie,

and then starting to work together

and making people realize how different we are.

And that was so satisfying when we started the contract

as people started to get to know each other,

they realized that our styles are super complementary

because they're in the same family,

but that our approaches are actually super different.

Like she's the more,

like she'll use her muscles more in like,

the tempo and more explosiveness,

and I'm more like, I'll just like sink into it and use like my weight

and try to use the least muscles as possible.

So I'm kind of more

the slow, and you're more the,

California, New York,

yeah, true.

For me there's always this thing of like,

trying to figure out the ways that I was different from her

and then when we met,

it was not only like, ok,

we have a lot of similarities on stage,

but in life, we have a lot of very similar,

we're kind of the same person, kind of tendencies,

we're like two sides of the same coin,

yeah.

Oksana

Oksana is a fearless performer on the Russian swings

who pushes limits and defies gravity at every show.

It's impressive to be as high

as birds can fly.

I'm not afraid of heights, I love heights.

The swing, it's that act where it's like,

a thin line between danger and excitement.

You need to be really precise,

because otherwise you can be short

or long, and you can slightly get injured or really injured.

So, when I'm in the swing, like nothing else exists,

it's just, I see another swing and like,

I think that time is stopped for me.

Like, I don't hear the music, I don't hear the audience,

I just see another swing and like, time stops.

Like, my—I don't know, my palms are sweating right now

just to think about the feeling that I'm going into every show.

Are you ready to walk outside here?

Yes.

Look at this, it's not scary?

No.

Yeah! No, it was great, it was great.

I did edge walk,

how I do exactly in this show,

like, you know, on the edge of the stage.

It was great.

Life on tour for the show's cast and crew is a unique experience.

Living, training and performing ten shows a week together

inevitably creates some very special bonds.

Yeah, it's very nice, you know,

it's very good company, you know, very cool group, you know,

artists, you know, everything is very nice, perfect.

Everyone here is like, inspiring for different reasons,

for everything they do and they always give themselves like 100%.

So much fun.

This has like, been amazing for me so far,

I'm really like on cloud nine,

over the moon, I don't really know how to explain it because it's like,

it's so much what I want to do,

the whole tour life, the cast is amazing,

like, we have 44 artists who are like,

the most interesting people I've ever met in my life.

Everybody who works like, on the tour as like,

a rigger, a technician, the people who work behind the scenes,

the coaches,

people on tour services and stuff like that,

like, everybody is amazing.

It's my first big gig, it's my first big top show,

first touring, first anything,

and it's just, they made it really easy to love.
