Cirque Du Soleil and Grupo Vidanta Announce LUDÕ

LUDÕ, a water themed show, will debut at VidantaWorld’s BON Luxury Theme Park in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico in November 2025. The show is Cirque du Soleil’s return to water dinner show productions, following the legendary O in Las Vegas. LUDÕ will take place in a 696-seat custom theater.  

“The creation of LUDÕ by Cirque du Soleil at VidantaWorld is more than a milestone; it’s a bold statement of Mexico’s capacity to innovate and captivate on a global stage,” said Iván Chávez, executive vice president of Grupo Vidanta. “LUDÕ is designed to inspire awe, and to show the world that Mexico is not only a top destination but a leader in the future of entertainment. We are beyond thrilled to invite audiences to experience this unparalleled journey through water, creativity, and the boundless spirit of VidantaWorld.”

“We’re thrilled to expand our partnership with Grupo Vidanta by bringing a spectacular new show to Nuevo Vallarta, inviting fans from around the globe to experience Cirque du Soleil like never before. This custom-built theater is a masterpiece of innovation, providing the ultimate canvas to showcase our boundless creativity,” said Daniel Lamarre, Executive Vice-Chairman of Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group.

LUDÕ, which comes from the Latin for “I play”, marries revolutionary technology, gravity-defying performances and mesmerizing visuals to create a dynamic aquatic experience celebrating the power of water. Within the theater, guests will experience a gourmet dining experience during the show. Aerial performances showcase strength and grace, while group acts show off the precision, teamwork and rhythm of Cirque du Soleil. There will also be interactive elements, such as acrobatics on a new platform. After it opens in 2025, LUDÕ has 300+ planned shows per year. 

“This show embodies everything that makes our partnership with Grupo Vidanta so rewarding,” said Michel Laprise, Show Writer & Director of Cirque du Soleil LUDÕ. “LUDÕ harnesses the limitless qualities of water, a medium that captures memory, transcends gravity, and allows us to create a dynamic, dreamlike journey unlike any other.”
