Mexican Cirque du Soleil LUZIA remains in Los Angeles until Feb.11 2018

Reporter on site: Karen Ostlund
Photo credit: Matt Beard

 Trapeze artist, acrobats, beach clowns, jugglers and surrealistic animals.

 Mexican Cirque du Soleil LUZIA will remain at Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium, under the big tent during Christmas and New Year Holidays - and perform until Feb. 11 2018.

LUZIA premiered first in April 2016 and is Cirque du Soleil’s 38th original production since 1984. The show takes you to an imaginary Mexico, like in a waking dream, where light (“luz” in Spanish) quenches the spirit and rain (“lluvia”) soothes the soul.
Luzia costumes by Giovanna Buzzi

 Luzia is rich in costumes by Giovanna Buzzi,  and enchants by incorporating rain into acrobatic and artistic scenes – for the first time of a Cirque du Soleil touring production.

The prologue of the show is the sound of a plane is fading away as a parachutist is free falling towards a land of memories, a field of flowers called yellow marigolds - surrounding a gigantic metallic key. As the clown turns the key by curiosity, the traveler gets taken away on a magical journey through time and place, somewhere between dreams and reality,  and the show starts with the running woman and a metallic horse together to awake this imaginary Mexico journey.


https://www.cirquedusoleil.com/luzia
As the morning sun rises, a woman and a metallic horse in the background run together to awake the imaginary Mexico where the journey of the traveler will take place. The running woman spreads her “butterfly wings” in a tribute to the annual- migratory journey of the monarch butterfly from southern Canada to central Mexico.

The world of LUZIA is populated by surrealistic animals of all sizes






Through a series of grand visual surprises and acrobatic performances, LUZIA invites audiences to escape on a surrealistic journey through a sumptuous and vibrant world suspended somewhere between dreams and reality. Smoothly passing from an old movie set to the ocean to a smoky dance hall or an arid desert, LUZIA  brings to the stage multiple places, faces and sounds of Mexico taken from both tradition and modernity.
Integrating the element of water to a Big Top show is a first time at Cirque du Soleil. The idea of placing a water basin under the stage floor and creating a rain curtain paid huge dividends on the acrobatic front.Cyr Wheel artists perform the unprecedented feat of rolling and spinning under the rain, while an aerialist suspended from a Trapeze flies and twirls through pouring showers.

A set of multiple faces

LUZIA takes audiences from an old movie set to the ocean to the semi-desert to an undersea world to a cenote to the jungle to a city alleyway to a dance salon – passing smoothly from an urban setting to the natural world, past to present, tradition to modernity.

Acrobatic and artistic scene

Jugglers at LUZIA

LUZIA explores the combination of hoop diving – a traditional circus discipline from China – and two giant treadmills to generate speed and expand the discipline’s acrobatic vocabulary. The two treadmills can operate in the same direction or in opposite directions. Artists use the treadmill as a launching pad to perform daring leaps through the hoops.

TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood Launches MX4D Motion Seats, Dec.14 w/Smoke, Bubbles, Mist, Snow and Rain

Photos by Karen Ostlund

The celebrated TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, famous for its red-carpet movie premieres and movie-star handprints and footprints, is set to launch a special venue in its adjacent Chinese 6 Theatre complex on Dec. 14 with the debut of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
The movie tickets will be 29 dollars per seat, but there will be rebate coupons handed out for upcoming movie Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle.
 http://www.tclchinesetheatres.com/mx4d-at-tcl-chinese-6-theatres/



The newly configured theatre—the first of its kind in Hollywood—will function both as an MX4D® Motion EFX movie theatre and the first immersive spectator theatre, hosting competitive e-sports tournaments.

“MX4D Motion EFX theaters will provide our customers with a unique and fully immersive cinema experience,” said Robert Laity, CEO of the TCL Chinese Theatres.
MX4D EFX features include moving seats, air/water blasts, leg/neck ticklers, fog, seat/back pokers, seat rumblers, and other special effects such as smoke, dust, bubbles, snow and rain, programmed in sync with the action onscreen. Owners of the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood are planning to launch an immersive esports theater in its adjacent Chinese 6 Theatre complex.

The announcement was made December 8 at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

Plans are for the facility to function both as an MX4D Motion EFX movie theatre, as well as serve as what’s touted as the first immersive spectator theater hosting competitive esports tournaments along with providing a launch pad for a network of tournament theaters beyond Hollywood.
“We see cinema operators working together as a global network of immersive MX4D esports theaters and becoming part of the fabric of competitive gaming. We are in discussions with sponsors, esports organizations and other cinema operators to join forces with the TCL Chinese Theatre as we bring this exciting capability to the world of online and live tournament play"said said Robert K. Laity, CEO of the TCL Chinese Theatre.

 The system is produced by MediaMation, which provides 4D Motion EFX theaters and seats at over 300 installations worldwide in 37 countries.

Dan Jamele Co-founder of MediaMation continued, “MediaMation designs, engineers and installs ultra-modern, modular eSports destinations, temporarily converting the theatre space into a full-scale eSports tournament environment and then back to theatre space. The goal is to offer a professional and immersive environment for spectating while the audience ‘feels’ the gaming action in their MX4D eSports spectator seat.”
“It just made sense for MediaMation to be in the eSports space. The MX4D ‘theatre-to-arena’ initiative is immersive, eSports spectating like nobody has ever seen before!”

 "Enjoy an industry first esports experience as your MX4D seat rolls and tilts in a heart-pounding clash between world class teams. Feel the action as competitors bash, smash, maneuver, shoot, blow-up, and knock down a competitor all the while racking up points leading them to victory."

Esports is also known as eSports, e-sports, competitive or pro videogaming is now the hottest, a new form of competition that is played on personal computers, consoles (i.e. Xbox and PS4) and mobile devices. Esports teams have moved into professional status with contracted teams and players receiving sponsorship and endorsements while participating in online and live tournaments where they compete for large cash prize pools.

TCL acquired naming rights to the Chinese Theatre in 2013. The owners partnered with Imax Corp. that year to renovate the facility as a custom.
