Kooza!

It was cold and rainy all day. Our moods were deeply affected by the weather, saying to each other, "We ain't doing shit today! No shopping, no gym, no dining out......nothing!" One accepted the other's declaration until we remembered we had tickets to Cirque Du Soleil's Kooza on the Avenue of the Arts.



Showtime was 8pm and we HAD to have arrived at a quarter of the hour. After hitting up the concession stand, Belmo and I worked our way over to our seats....or what we THOUGHT were our seats. When we sat down, Belmo said to me, "These seats aren't bad." He was right. The two older ladies who seats we were in agreed. By the time we found our correct seating which was located three feet from stage right, the show began.



Kooza starts with Innocent, a naive but lovable clown who attempts to fly his kite without avail. All throughout the performance, Innocent is introduced to acrobats, musical entertainers, and comic characters who strive to assist during his favorite pastime.





The site of Innocent's kite in flight after acquiring strength and determination gained throughout the show tugged at the heartstrings. If you enjoy old circus traditions as well as the extraordinary and magical, then this is THE extravaganza not to be missed. We recommend seeing Kooza when it comes to a city near you.
