The world-famous Cirque du Soleil returns to Redmond Washington’s Marymoor Park with KOOZA, June 3-July 2. Currently in its fourth year, 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.” ~ Cirque du Soleil.com
This visual masterpiece features the jaw-dropping talents of 53 artists, including acrobats, musicians and dancers. And speaking of dancers (wink-wink!), the program’s artistic director, Adam Miller is a former principal with Pacific Northwest Ballet (1980-1986)! Seriously, how cool is that? You can read all about it here.
