Last night Ricardo “IKO” Rivas and I had the distinct pleasure of attending Cirque du Soleil : “Kooza”, compliments of our friends over at KMEX 34 “Univision“. To say the show was good is an huge understatement. The acrobatics, magic and visuals were nothing less than amazing! Especially after indulging in the delicious flavor of several complimentary Stella Artois’s.

“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.”

The show is being held on the Santa Monica Pier through December 22, 2009. I highly recommend you catch a performance, it’s quite remarkable!

¡Gracias a todos nuestros amigos de Univision para una noche increíble de diversión y emoción! En especial, gozan de todos los de la cerveza y comida gratis!
