Cirque du Soleil: Kooza Through June 7
Posted April 20, 2009
Note: Anyone interested in juggling needs to see Anthony Gatto live, and here's your chance. He's absolutely as spectacular as you may have heard, and he's that good every single show, not just every now and then on video.
And speaking of the world's greatest juggler, JuggleNYC.com congratulates the Gattos on the recent birth of their first son, Gabriel Anthony Gatto.
Event details posted as gleaned.
About the Show
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.
