Welcome to the dazzling and eccentric world of LUZIA – where Mexico gets a Cirque du Soleil makeover in Melbourne, and things get delightfully weird!
Picture this: a make-believe Mexico, bursting with colors and surprises that will make your jaw drop. Witness daredevil acrobats take it to the next level with two giant treadmills and leaps that defy gravity. From urban Mexican culture to animal imagery from Mexican folklore, LUZIA is a circus love letter to all things Mexican. A cast curated from every corner of the globe unites under the guidance of genius choreographers, Edesia Moreno Barata, Debra Brown, and Sylvia González. Pushing the boundaries with water-infused acrobatics, Cyr Wheel artists roll and spin under rain, while Trapeze aerialists soar and twirl through cascading showers!
The Flemington Racecourse is Melbourne's hallowed grounds of horse racing. Since 1861, it has been home to the prestigious Melbourne Cup. Adorned with wide lawns and exquisite roses, Flemington is a tribute to tradition and elegance. Witness history among the grandstands—the classic Lawn Stand, revered Members Stand, and modern Club Stand, symbolizing the evolution of racing luxury. Experience the heartbeat of the track, where a record-breaking 129,089 spectators gathered for the 2006 Victoria Derby. Flemington isn't just a venue; it's an emblem of racing legacy and innovation, shaping the Australian Racing Experience since 2000.
