About KOOZA
Cirque du Soleil returns to Hong Kong in April this year with KOOZA, a new production paying homage to their roots by combining thrilling, heart-stopping acrobatic performance with the art of clowning. KOOZA will be presented in the intimate setting of the signature blue-and-yellow Big Top from 19 April 2018 at the Central Harbourfront Event Space, 9 Lung Wo Road.
Since its world premiere in Montreal in 2007, KOOZA has been seen by over 7 million people around the world. The name KOOZA is inspired by the Sanskrit word “Koza” which means “box”, “chest”, or “treasure” and emerging from this magical box is an international cast of 50 acrobats, musicians, singers and actors from 19 different countries performing heart-stopping feats and laugh-out-loud antics to a live soundtrack fusion of jazz, funk and Bollywood beats.
“… a thrilling spectacle jam-packed with white-knuckle acrobatic moments.”
Los Angeles Times
AXA Hong Kong, the leading insurer in town, has partnered with Cirque du Soleil and AsiaBoxOffice as the Presenting Sponsor to bring the unique experience of KOOZA to Hong Kong.
'We are delighted to partner with Cirque du Soleil and AsiaBoxOffice to bring KOOZA, a world-class live entertainment experience, to Hong Kong and its people for the first time. Moreover, to live up to our commitment to "empower people to live a better life", apart from bringing the unique experience to Hong Kong consumers, we will partner with Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong to invite about 200 underserved youth to enjoy the very exclusive dress rehearsal of KOOZA, with a hope that they can get inspired by the KOOZA story. We look forward to experiencing the excitement that this signature event will bring to Hong Kong,’ said Andrea Wong, Chief Marketing and Customer Officer of AXA Hong Kong.
The KOOZA story follows “The Innocent” who represents the child within us all, as he takes a journey of self-discovery through a kingdom of eccentric characters, electrifying thrills and out-of-the-box surprises. “KOOZA is about human connection and the world of duality, good and bad”, says the show’s writer and director David Shiner. “The tone is fun and funny, light and open. The show doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it’s very much about ideas, too.” In addition to showcasing sheer human effort – performance in its rawest, purest form – together with slapstick humour and amusing antics, KOOZA also contemplates deeper notions, including strength, harmony, identity, fragility and power. Presented in a colorful medley of costumes and characters, KOOZA springs open like a bejeweled toy box to capture the audience’s imagination and set pulses racing.
“KOOZA delivers in all areas…never fails to elicit gasps from the audience… packs a thrill of danger… the final scene is as touching as anything I’ve seen from this company.”
Sydney Morning Herald
KOOZA is currently delighting audiences in Beijing, China where the season will wrap up on 11 February 2018 and then move to Shenzhen where it will play until 1 April 2018. The tons of equipment and over 1000 costume pieces will then make their way to Hong Kong.
“KOOZA, a back-to-basics affair, presents the usual rubbery contortionists, fearless tightrope walkers and othergravity-defying daredevils. But what is special about this new production is that Cirque introduces some carefullychoreographed chaos and old-fashioned sideshow spark…
the real pleasures are the genuinely funny clowns.”
