The Story of an Encounter is a documentary that captures the unexpected encounter between México and Cirque du Soleil creators in the mist of the creation of LUZIA, Cirque du Soleil next big top show. It is a cultural and intimate story of the meeting of creative minds seen through personal interactions and relationship building of the show creators. Filmed in Mexico City, Tijuana, Oaxaca and Montréal, this series features: Daniele Finzi Pasca (Co-author and Director of LUZIA), Patricia Ruel (Direction of Creation), Simon Carpentier (Composer), Eugenio Caballero (Set and Props Designer) as well as Majo Cornejo and Rodrigo de la Mora (Musicians).

Comment tout cela fonctionne? Quel ciment unit artistes, techniciens et figurants très engagés? L'équilibre entre l'art et les impondérables techniques ou météorologiques est constamment renégocié, parfois dans le stress et le conflit. Entre enthousiasme et épuisement, la Fête des vignerons est pour chacun une aventure humaine.
