Inside Cirque Du Soleil's 'Luzia' And The Show's Magnificent Costumes

No detail goes unnoticed from the dresses down to the shoes.

Leave it up to Cirque du Soleil to transport their audiences out of their daily reality and into a dreamworld.

In their latest show "Luzia," the Montreal-based theatre company celebrates an imaginary Mexico as a sensory exploration. Mixing light and rain, the performance relies deeply on its design, and that includes the performers' magnificent costumes.

In the video above, Francis Jalbert, a publicist for "Luzia," walks us through the creation of the costumes.

"Fashion is a part of the experience at Cirque du Soleil," Jalbert says. "We're recreating a feel with these shows."

Part of the feel includes getting wet, a factor for some of the 300 designers at the show's costume Montreal workshop. It's a detail worked into everything from the dresses down to the shoes.
