Get ready to gasp, cheer and laugh as you take in astonishing acrobatic feats during Cirque du Soleil’s Kooza production.
Running in Calgary until October 8, Kooza follows the journey of a young clown, known as The Innocent, who is transported to an exciting new world full of magical experiences and colourful characters. This wondrous show features incredible acrobatics and clowning performances, all set to a live score within the Big Top on Stampede Park. Nodding to traditional circus arts, Kooza is full of jaw-dropping acts like the double high wire and “Wheel of Death,” as well as contortion, unicycling, dance performances and more.
While you’re at Kooza, be sure to try the Village Trickster, a collaboration lager beer between Kooza and Village Brewery that’s only available at the Big Top during the show’s run.
