VidantaWorld and Cirque du Soleil Unite to Unveil LUDÕ Show

Grupo Vidanta and Cirque du Soleil celebrate a decade of collaboration with the announcement of LUDÕ, a water-themed show. Set to debut in November 2025 at VidantaWorld’s BON Luxury Theme Park in Nuevo Vallarta, LUDÕ marks Cirque du Soleil’s return to water-themed productions, following the O in Las Vegas.

LUDÕ – from the Latin for “I play” – is described by the two as “a fusion of art and technology, a spectacle where water becomes a narrative force, enveloping audiences in an aquatic realm that celebrates both the power of nature and the heights of human imagination.” Set in a 696-seat custom theater, water flows through every aspect of the story. LUDÕ will feature a gourmet dining experience and showcase the custom theater’s features, acoustics and architecture.

“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,” says Iván Chávez, executive vice president, 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.”
