Cirque du Soleil’s LUDÕ Resident Show Opens In Mexico 

Fans are now welcomed to journey into the aquatic world of LUDŌ, marking the second resident Cirque du Soleil show in Mexico. The show takes place in a custom-built, lotus-inspired theater in Nuevo Nayarit-Vallarta, Mexico, that is housed in VidantaWorld’s BON Luxury Theme Park.

As an announcement explains, the theater provides a full 360-degree aquatic dreamscape with a capacity of nearly 700. 

LUDŌ, which takes its name from a Latin word that means “I play,” opened its doors on Dec. 13 with an opening performance that attracted celebrities including Rebel Wilson, Tyra Banks, Paula Abdul, Niecy Nash, Mario Lopez, Sunny Hostin and Teresa Giudice.

The aquatic dinner show, presented by Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group and Grupo Vidanta, tells the story of “The Visionary, Ludovico, a seasoned theatre director in search of inspiration who follows a whispering intuition to a mystical cenote in Mexico, once sacred to the goddesses of water.There, he falls into a dream-state where water becomes both muse and mirror.” 

An announcement goes on to explain that, “In this otherworldly realm, scenes unfold like ripples across a still surface: Dancers float as though gravity never existed, acrobats dive, twist, and surge like currents; aerialists rise like memories resurfacing and the stage breathes, submerges, and illuminates like the rhythm of an endless tide. Every act is a fragment of a life rediscovered, childhood wonder, chosen family, lost inspiration and artistic obsession. It is a journey through the waters that shapes us, carries us, holds us.” 

LUDÕ will feature more than 300 shows annually, Tuesday through Saturday, with multiple showtimes depending on the date. Of note – a ticket to LUDÕ grants direct access to the theater without separate admission to the BON Luxury Theme Park required.

“We set out to build an experience that dissolves the line between audience and dream,” Iván Chávez, Executive Vice President of Grupo Vidanta, said in a statement. “LUDŌ is Mexico at its most powerful, innovative, emotional, and unafraid to create beauty the world has never seen before.” 
“LUDÕ signals a new chapter on how we innovate,” added Daniel Lamarre, Executive Vice Chairman of Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group. “It’s an experience created exclusively for VidantaWorld where technology, artistry and, human performance come together.”
