Kooza- Cirque Du Soleil


I went and saw Kooza on Saturday night with a good friend, Tammy. We had an incredible time and as Tammy said... "I saw a kid with a kite and then freaky shit started happening!" There was contortionists, juggling, high wire acts, balancing on chairs, wheel of death.

Tammy and I had an incredible time in the entrance tent during intermission with all the masks and hats....a couple photos are in this post. All in all it was a great night and worth the price of admission. I recommend it to anyone!

The story behind Kooza:

KOOZA tells the story of The Innocent, a melancholy loner in search of his place in the world.

KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil: It combines two circus traditions Рacrobatic performance and the art of clowning. The show highlights the physical demands of human performance in all its splendor and fragility, presented in a colorful m̩lange that emphasizes bold slapstick humor.

The Innocent's journey brings him into contact with a panoply of comic characters such as the King, the Trickster, the Pickpocket, and the Obnoxious Tourist and his Bad Dog.

Between strength and fragility, laughter and smiles, turmoil and harmony, KOOZA explores themes of fear, identity, recognition and power. The show is set in an electrifying and exotic visual world full of surprises, thrills, chills, audacity and total involvement.
