Cirque du Soleil’s LUZIA is Coming to Ottawa! And We Have a Special Surprise!
Ottawa is about to get a lot more magical! Cirque du Soleil is returning to the St. Laurent Shopping Centre under the iconic Big Top from September 10 to October 18, 2026, with their stunning production, LUZIA.
LUZIA takes audiences on a dreamlike escape through a «waking dream» of Mexico. This show is a masterpiece of light and spirit, transitioning from lush tropical rainscapes to the golden sands of the desert. What makes LUZIA truly groundbreaking is its use of a massive rain curtain, marking the first time Cirque du Soleil has integrated water into a touring acrobatic show.
From world class aerialists to gravity defying maneuvers, LUZIA is a celebration of human potential.
