VidantaWorld launches Cirque du Soleil LUDŌ, the first resident immersive aquatic show in Latin America
The innovative resident show will premiere on December 12, 2025, in the heart of VidantaWorld Nuevo Vallarta.
With more than 300 annual performances and exceptional pre-sale demand, Cirque du Soleil's LUDŌ consolidates Mexico as a global leader in luxury tourism.
Mexico City, June 16, 2025 - Vidanta Group and Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group proudly announce the premiere of LUDŌ, a breathtaking show that marks a new era of immersive entertainment and consolidates VidantaWorld Nuevo Vallarta as a global benchmark for luxury tourism.
This innovative production redefines the boundaries of live entertainment by merging water, storytelling, cutting-edge technology, and culinary art into a unique multi-sensory format.
LUDŌ will come to life on December 12, 2025, as Cirque du Soleil's first immersive aquatic spectacular since "O" in Las Vegas. The show will debut at VidantaWorld Nuevo Vallarta, within the pioneering BON Luxury Theme Park, the first of its kind in Latin America.
With more than 300 performances scheduled annually and high pre-sale demand, this visionary show—made possible thanks to a high-impact investment—further positions Mexico as a global hub for luxury tourism.
LUDŌ—from the Latin word "I play"—is more than a spectacle; it's an immersive experience where art and technology converge in a sensorial narrative, accompanied by an exceptional culinary experience. Water, as a central and living force, becomes a symbol and narrative element.
At the heart of the story is Ludovico, a theater director who delves into a mystical cenote in search of his lost creativity and sense of wonder. His immersion becomes a powerful metaphor for artistic rebirth and emotional reconnection.
Through poetic and playful visuals and a story that awakens the senses, LUDŌ explores deeply human themes such as memory, creative freedom, and the essential desire to reconnect: with oneself, with others, and with the world we inhabit.
“LUDŌ represents a bold evolution for Cirque du Soleil: a production that fuses immersive design and sensory storytelling with cutting-edge technology and culinary artistry. Every element was created to push the boundaries of live entertainment. Together with our partners at Vidanta, we are redefining the Cirque du Soleil experience: where wonder ignites connection and innovation fuels excitement,” said Daniel Lamarre, President and CEO of Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group .
This new artistic proposal combines art, acrobatics, symbolic storytelling, and multisensory cuisine within a 27-meter-high circular theater, specially designed for this show. Inspired by the lotus flower, the venue offers an immersive aquatic stage with 360° visibility from any seat, and state-of-the-art acoustics and lighting.
“LUDŌ is a dream born from water... a world where memory, imagination, and play float in suspension. Water is the heart of the story, the space where transformation happens,” shared Michel Laprise, Writer and Show Director of Cirque du Soleil LUDŌ .
A culinary proposal as part of the show
Based on the belief that gastronomy is also an art form, LUDŌ will feature culinary experiences designed by Alexis Bostelmann, Executive Chef of Grupo Vidanta. Each dish is meticulously crafted to integrate with the show's narrative, becoming part of the story and offering guests a sensorial journey that stimulates sight, taste, and imagination. Thus, the palate becomes another avenue to immerse oneself in the story.
“VidantaWorld is the most ambitious entertainment destination ever created in Latin America—a place where nature, luxury, and imagination collide. And it all starts with LUDŌ, our groundbreaking collaboration with Cirque du Soleil. It’s not just a show—it’s a total sensorial adventure that redefines what a night out can be. LUDŌ is the first step in a new era of entertainment, and it’s happening in Mexico,” said Iván Chávez, Executive Vice President of Grupo Vidanta .
Designed as a must-see attraction for international travelers and entertainment lovers, LUDŌ introduces a new dimension to the world of the performing arts and marks just the beginning of what VidantaWorld has in store for Mexico and the world.
The BON Luxury Theme Park will continue its expansion with new themed areas, spectacular attractions, and unique experiences that reaffirm Grupo Vidanta's commitment to innovation, excellence, and unforgettable moments for all generations.
