Cirque du Soleil has brought its award-winning magical theater to Mexico’s Riviera Maya with Joya, the troupe’s first resident production in Latin America. From dazzling theatrics and incredible acrobatics to otherworldly costumes and death-defying stunts, this fantastical show is truly an unforgettable experience.
The Basics
Prepare to be wowed. Cirque du Soleil’s Joya combines outstanding performing and culinary arts to impress the audience’s five senses. The intimate, 600-seat theater’s setting is as dramatic as the show itself—whose storyline draws on the heritage, history, and culture of Mexico—and is hidden away in the Riviera Maya jungle above a giant cenote. There are ticket options to suit all budgets, from show-only seats and cozy tables to a VIP package replete with a gourmet 3-course dinner experience, preshow entertainment, Champagne, and priority seating for the main attraction..

The Tale of Cirque du Soleil’s Joya

The 70-minute show includes troops of mythical half-human, half-animal creatures; music and theatrics inspired by Mexico’s rich history and heritage; and unbelievable contortions, trapeze, handbalancing on canes, and other acrobatics.
