"ARCANO" A Journey of Steam and Enchantment Through a Futuristic Circus, Successfully Presented at the Puebla and Mérida Fairs in Mexico. (April-June 2024)

A spectacular cast for an impressive show. "ARCANO" is the new production by Illusion On Ice, brimming with magic, juggling, acrobatics, ephemeral art with sand and bubbles, contortions, comedy, fun, and thrilling choreography performed by exceptional dancers. At the heart of "ARCANO" is Javier Urbina, "The Lord of the Bubbles," who takes on the role of an enigmatic Master of Ceremonies. Dressed like an alchemist from another era, Urbina dazzles the audience with his main act: inside a giant acrylic chamber, he creates ethereal bubbles that, magnified on a giant screen, transform into fleeting works of art, leaving the audience in awe.

Whirring gears, hissing steam, and an extraordinary cast bring "ARCANO" to life, the latest spectacle by Illusion On Ice—a circus marvel that evokes the elegance of a futuristic past with a touch of magic and wonder. This show, wrapped in the enchanting steampunk atmosphere, blends aerial acrobatics, impossible juggling, and ephemeral art created with sand and bubbles, while contortionists and dancers, clad in leather and brass, move to a perfectly synchronized choreography. The fusion of industrial lights, mechanical design projections, and refined aesthetics makes "ARCANO" a unique performance at the cutting edge of modern circus.

The world of "ARCANO" first came to life at the Puebla Fair in Mexico, from April 25 to May 12, 2024, where 45 performances left audiences in awe. Over 200,000 spectators were drawn into this parallel dimension, where top artists from Spain, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, Germany, and Argentina joined forces to create a universe of gears and fantasy. After conquering Puebla, "ARCANO" continued its journey through the cities of steam, landing in Mérida, Mexico, from May 19 to June 18, 2024, to continue mesmerizing the masses.

Amidst the copper and steam, Javier Urbina, known as "The Lord of the Bubbles," stands out as the enigmatic Master of Ceremonies. With the elegance of an alchemist, Urbina guides the audience through this world of mechanical fantasy, performing acts that defy reality itself. In his main act, Urbina creates ethereal bubbles within a giant acrylic chamber—a transparent artifact that could have been designed by a Victorian genius. Thanks to the magic of technology and a giant screen, the audience can marvel at each delicate bubble he forms, suspended in the air like a finely tuned pocket watch, defying the laws of physics with his masterful skill.

"ARCANO" is more than just a show; it is a journey through an era that never was, yet one we all wish we could have lived. In this steampunk world, where steam and mechanics dance with magic, Illusion On Ice has crafted an experience that not only entertains but also transports the audience to a place where fantasy and reality meet, and where imagination knows no bounds.
