After a much-talked-about premiere and eight performances, the cast of Messi10 is preparing to say goodbye to Peru, where the Peruvian public will have one last chance to enjoy the show that “celebrates the greatness and power of dreams,” say its producers.
“Messi10 is another example of Cirque du Soleil’s ability to create high-impact productions that captivate and excite. We are happy with the reception we have received in Lima. Messi10 is a show that celebrates a Latin American figure and to feel that the public welcomes us so warmly is a pride and an honor,” he said.

“We have 5 more shows ahead of us, hopefully we’ll continue to see full houses so we can say goodbye to Peru with the desire for more. In addition, Messi10 is the perfect gift to enjoy with the family this Children’s Day,” adds Gestoso Sáenz.
For its part, Sergio Lavie, executive producer of Messi10 has pointed out that: “This show is not only a work of art, but also a work of engineering.

Today we landed in Lima and we are happy to see, after five months of preparations, how everything is finally starting to take shape.”
