Start the year properly: Cirque du Soleil’s Kooza is here
The New Year in the capital has started with a bang as the Royal Albert Hall welcomes back the Cirque du Soleil. They return with their highly rated show ‘KOOZA’ for the first time in the UK.
KOOZA is a touring circus production which consists of a combination of acrobatics and clowning performances set in what has been described as an ‘electrifying and exotic‘ world.
The story is centred on a character called The Innocent, a lonely outsider searching for himself in the world he has been lost in for many years. His story and inspiring journey is demonstrated with trapeze-artists, high wire performers and the stunning wheel of death throughout the show.
The show cleverly mixes up a variety of different acts throughout which help contribute in developing the story and engaging the audience. Cirque du Soleil’s talented performers take to the stage presenting some incredible acts allowing the audience to capture the amazing and complex anatomy of a human body and to what lengths it can be pushed.
The Red, White and Gold coloured fabrics used to design the stunning costumes are inspired by the traditional circus and burlesque colour schemes. With more than 175 costumes, 160 hats and all together an impressive 1,080 pieces of wardrobe it is safe to say a lot of effort has gone in to creating the outfits.
All aspects from costume to music and atmosphere have been considered to create a show that promises to exceed all expectations. If you fancy being a part of The Innocent story you can grab tickets from now until 14th February.
