Psycho Donuts Creates Limited Edition Hummingbird Donut to Celebrate Cirque du Soleil's LUZIA

To celebrate the arrival of LUZIA, Cirque du Soleil's latest soul-touching production, in San Jose, Psycho Donuts has created a limited-edition donut evoking the flavors of Mexico, the central theme of the show. 'Colibrí', named for the Spanish word for 'hummingbird', is a raised yeast donut filled with a passion fruit custard. The donut is glazed with a peach icing and sprinkled with a powdered sugar hummingbird on top.

'Colibrí' will be available starting today at all three Psycho Donuts locations: Santa Clara Town Centre (2000 El Camino Real at Scott Blvd.), Downtown Campbell (2006 S. Winchester Blvd. at Campbell Avenue, and Downtown San Jose (288 S. Second St. at San Carlos).

LUZIA, an acrobatic waking dream of Mexico, opens at Taylor Street Bridge (corner of Taylor Street and Highway 87) in San Jose on February 9, 2017 for a limited engagement through March 19, 2017. For show information and tickets, visit www.cirquedusoleil.com/luzia.

LUZIA takes you to an imaginary Mexico, like in a waking dream, where light ("luz" in Spanish) quenches the spirit and rain ("lluvia") soothes the soul. Freely inspired by Mexico, LUZIA is a poetic and acrobatic ode to the rich, vibrant culture of a country whose wealth stems from an extraordinary mix of influences and creative collisions - a land that inspires awe with its breathtaking landscapes and architectural wonders, buoyed by the indomitable spirit of its people.

The tableaux of LUZIA weave an intricate, contemporary mosaic that awakens your senses and transports you to a place suspended between dreams and reality. Featuring a cast of 44 performers from diverse artistic backgrounds, LUZIA surprises with acrobatic performances breaking down the barriers, such as incorporating water into contemporary circus disciplines.
