"This is the most intimate custom- built theatre of all the Cirque du
Soleil resident theatres in the world" Daniel Lamarre, president and CEO, Cirque du Soleil
Mexico will be host to Cirque du Soleil's fi rst resident show outside Orlando and Las Vegas
M
exico is to become home to Cirque du Soleil’s fi rst resi- dent show operating outside of the US, fol-
lowing the announcement that a new custom-designed theatre is under construction in Riviera Maya to house the entertainment spectacle. The announcement comes as
Cirque du Soleil teams up with Grupo Vidanta, a developer of resorts and tourism infrastructure in Mexico. Guests will be served dinner and champagne inside a 600-seat theatre designed by leading architect Arturo Hernandez, created to provide a feel- ing of close proximity between guests and performing artists. "This is the marriage of two cre- ators of unique entertainment and world-class experiences," said Daniel Lamarre, president and CEO of Cirque du Soleil. "We were asked four years
ago by Grupo Vidanta to imagine something different, something new, something unprecedented for this destination. We're excited that our partnership will unveil a new inter- section for us between performance and culinary creativity. The setting is the most intimate custom-built thea- tre of all the Cirque du Soleil resident theatres in the world." "Through our partnership with
Cirque du Soleil we will deliver an entertainment experience beyond what currently exists in Mexico or the world in the Vidanta Theatre in Riviera Maya,” said Daniel Chavez Moran, founder of Grupo Vidanta. “This entirely new category of enter- tainment will be an experience one must see, hear and taste." The fi rst performance is expected to take place in November 2014.
