Cirque du Soleil KOOZA
A breathtaking return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil, KOOZA pays tribute to traditional circus. In addition to all its splendor as well as audacious acrobatic prowess, it also includes bold slapstick comedy. Filled with chills, thrills, laughter and wonder, KOOZA unfolds a non-stop, adrenaline-packed series of edge-of-your-seat surprises. Under the watch of a mysterious trickster with electrifying powers, KOOZA follows the self-discovery adventures of the Innocent who is magically transported to an exotic yet zany kingdom.
Undeniably the most daring Cirque du Soleil touring production, KOOZA takes audiences on a thrilling emotional ride with its nail-biting, mind-boggling acrobatics. Inspired by traditional circus arts from around the globe, the show’s performances display remarkable showmanship, exceptional execution, and incredible agility – notably in the High Wire, Teeterboard and Wheel of Death acts.
Cirque du Soleil In Santa Monica
Cirque du Soleil made its first United States debut at the opening of the Los Angeles Festival in 1987. The Big Top first set ground at the iconic Santa Monica Pier for its first international staged-show in 1987. This led to a turning point in the growth of Cirque du Soleil. The performance received such a warm welcome that it was followed by a tour of California. Thus it brought an incredible visibility for Cirque du Soleil.
