Cirque du Soleil® presents KOOZA, the story of an innocent and charming clown who strives to find his own place in the world. The Innocents journey brings him into contact with a panoply of comic characters such as the King of Fools, the enigmatic and formidable Trickster, the Pickpocket and the Obnoxious Tourist and his bad dog. Between strength and fragility, laughter and chills, and turmoil and harmony, KOOZA, the 20th creation by Cirque du Soleil, explores themes of fear, identity, recognition and power. The show is set in an electrifying and exotic visual world full of surprises, thrills, audacity and total involvement. KOOZA, created and directed by David Shiner, is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil: It combines two circus traditions acrobatic 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 mélange that emphasizes bold slapstick humor.
