PHOTO FLASH: KOOZA Cast Takes Over Horton Plaza
Cirque du Soleil's KOOZA premieres February 25 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, but Horton Plaza shoppers got a little preview Saturday. San Diegans were treated to circus acts, were able to try their hand at juggling and hand balancing and even get their faces made up like a Cirque artist. In addition, there was a prize wheel to win prizes from Cirque's KOOZA.
KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil that 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.
"KOOZA is about human connection and the world of duality, good and bad", says the show's writer and director David Shiner. "The tone is fun and funny, light and open. The show doesn't take itself too seriously, but it's very much about ideas, too".
Proudly presented by iShares, KOOZA will play until March 28.
