VidantaWorld has unveiled its new immersive and aquatic dining experience, Cirque du Soleil’s Ludō.
Ludõ, an innovative water-themed dinner show, debuts on 12 December at VidantaWorld Nuevo Vallarta in Mexico.
It is located inside the destination’s new Bon theme park, which fully opens in 2026 as the first luxury theme park in Latin America.
The production combines art, water, acrobatics, storytelling, cutting-edge technology and multi-sensory gastronomy within a 27-metre-high circular theatre.
Inspired by the lotus flower, the venue also features state-of-the-art acoustics and lighting, and 360-degree visibility from every seat.
“Ludō represents a bold evolution for Cirque du Soleil: a production that fuses immersive design and a sensory narrative to cutting-edge technology and culinary art,” said Daniel Lamarre, president and CEO of Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group.
“Every element was created to push the boundaries of live entertainment,” he added.
Ludō to open at new Bon theme park
“Together with our partners at Vidanta, we are redefining the Cirque du Soleil experience – where wonder sparks connection and innovation fuels emotion.”
The show follows Ludovico, a theatre director who travels into a mystical cenote in search of his lost creativity and sense of wonder. It explores themes including memory, creative freedom and connection.
Michel Laprise, writer and show director of Cirque du Soleil Ludō, said: “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.”
Culinary experiences at Ludō are designed by Alexis Bostelmann, executive chef at Grupo Vidanta, with each dish meticulously crafted to intertwine with the show’s story.
“This isn’t just a show – it’s a full-sensory 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.
