Cirque De Soleil are back in Sydney with KOOZA, the troupe’s eighth Big Tour show to tour Australia and they are as amazing as ever.
The show springs open like a huge, wondrous toy box to stir our imagination. The narrative sees the main character, the personification of innocence, go on a journey of self discovery as he encounters a kingdom of eccentric, characters and many surprises. The show combines amazing dare-devil acrobatic/circus skills that take one’s breath away with plenty of clowning for all the young at heart. Through the performance a wonderful live band pump out a great soundtrack of jazz, funk and Bollywood music.
KOOZA features a cast of some 50 acrobats, musicians, singers and actors performing amazing feats. Cirque Du Soleil pride themselves on being inclusive and multi-cultural- the current cast and crew are made up of personnel from some 20 countries.
Highly recommended, KOOZA is playing the Big Top at the Entertainment Quarter Tuesdays to Fridays at 8 pm, Saturdays at 4.30 pm and 8 pm, and Sundays at various times. The season, as it stands at the moment, is set to run until November 6.
