KOOZA tells the story of The Innocent, a melancholy loner in search of his place in the world.

Really? I had no idea. And this is after watching the show. I thought it was about a boy (man? boy? man boy) with a kite who discovers magic. It doesn't sounds that good but it's actually a dazzling show which restored my faith in Cirque Du Soleil. Not surprisingly, none of the other 10 people I went with to Corteo last year were down for another go. Their loss

As always no pix allowed though I haven't taken much outside of graf lately. I took these on the way out


Highlights
- demons in hamster cages, seriously breathtaking
- super flexible chicks in gold, I want that for xmas jk
- the moving stage with the elaborate draping (unraveling).. yeah not too much the singer which coulda been worse than usual, and that's hard
- the drum solo, haha really
- shiny suit juggler, minus the shiny suit (okay it was just a really good juggler, still cool though)
