Cirque Du Soleil Returns To Chicago June 26th-July27th
CIRQUE DU SOLEIL IS COMING BACK TO CHICAGO!
WITH A BRAND NEW NATIONAL TOURING SHOW! 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 – 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.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.
Cirque Du Soleil Kooza Turbo TaggerKOOZA’s set evokes a public square that metamorphoses into a circus ring. The circular stage provides the audience with excellent sight lines through 260 degrees. - The stage is dominated by one major set element, a traveling tower called the Bataclan, which alters the configuration of the performance space as it moves. The Bataclan moves artists in and out of the spotlight, serves as a bandstand and is flanked by two curved staircases.
"I wanted to capture the essence of circus itself by creating a scenographic environment that offers true proximity to the audience and where the danger is palpable."
—Stéphane Roy - creation director
