Composer Ángel “Cucco” Peña signed on as musical director for Cirque Du Soleil Le Lo Lai, a limited-edition production opening in Puerto Rico in February 2027.
- Ángel “Cucco” Peña joined the production as musical director to craft the show’s score.
- The limited-engagement residency will take place at the Coca-Cola Music Hall starting in February 2027.
- Tickets for the upcoming performances are currently available through Ticketera.
Accepting a new project requires evaluating both creative opportunities and operational challenges, according to Peña.
“Antes de aceptar un proyecto primero pienso si es algo que yo puedo hacer bien, que yo puedo cumplir de una manera excelente y eso va a los dos lados,” Peña told El Nuevo Día.
The assignment involves weaving Puerto Rican sounds and rhythms into an established artistic framework. The score aims to support emotional transitions on stage while honoring the traditional character of the acrobatic acts.
The musical arrangement must adapt to various moments of tension, joy, and romance during the live performances. Peña said that the score functions as a core structural element rather than simple background accompaniment.
“Hay momentos de mucha alegría, hay momentos de mucha tensión, hay momentos románticos, hay momentos de inspiración,” Peña told El Nuevo Día. “Entonces, cómo se usa nuestra música para cada uno de esos momentos, atándose a lo que es el carácter del circo, de actos que ya están probados.”
Coordinating between musicians, artists, and the creative team demands strict communication and teamwork. Peña highlighted the professionalism of the international cast in streamlining the collaborative process.
