Hey everyone, I have got some super exciting news – in case you haven’t heard, famed Cirque du Soleil is making another appearance in Calgary this fall to the Grand Chapiteau, at Parking Lot # 6 on Stampede Park.
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 show will be running from September 16, 2010 until October 10,2010. This is a must see performance for any age, so be sure to purchase your tickets before your preferred show date and time sells out!
I remember in 2005 when Alegría came to town under the Grand Chapiteau (“The Big Top”) set at the Currie Barracks. It was an unforgettable evening of awe-inspiring talent; words don’t even begin to do these performers justice. While I had seen previous shows at their home theatres in Las Vegas, the Grand Chapiteau still provided the exact same feel as if you were in a home theatre. Honestly, you will not even believe that this once bare parking lot has now been transformed into a fantastic arena for the show.
Truly do not take my word for it…read some reviews, watch some of the multimedia videos on the Cirque du Soleil websites, and most importantly – book your seats now to what is sure to be one of the most exciting evenings of your entire year! (Aside from perhaps the Sunday Rodeo Finals at Stampede.)
Enjoy KOOZA !
