Seven years since it last came to town, Cirque du Soleil’s Kooza is returning to Hong Kong from May 21 to June 22 at the Central Harbourfront Event Space. This marks the first stop of the troupe’s Asia tour, bringing its signature Big Top tent to the Central Harbourfront Event Space with a 54-strong cast from around the world.
Cirque du Soleil presented its first show in Hong Kong back in 1996, sharing the joy and magic of our productions with the people of Hong Kong.
Step into the whimsical world of Cirque du Soleil KOOZA presented by UBS, where you’ll follow the Innocent, on his innovative journey of self-discovery. One fateful day, while flying his kite, The Innocent receives a mysterious item that transports him to a bizarre and exotic realm. Under the watchful eye of an enigmatic Trickster with remarkable abilities, the Innocent navigates this fantastical world, encountering eccentric characters and breathtaking spectacles along the way. Don’t miss your chance to witness this magical tale unfold live on stage.
Featuring an international cast of 54 artists, this spectacular show has enchanted audiences in 66 cities across 22 countries. Perfect for families, KOOZA offers an unforgettable journey filled with laughter, wonder, and profound storytelling.
Premiered in 2007, Kooza was written and directed by American clown David Shiner. Unlike Cirque’s more abstract shows, the show leans into the traditions of classic circus, with plenty of slapstick humour. There are clowns, acrobats and a live six-piece band playing an original score by Jean-François Côté drawing on jazz, funk and Western pop alongside traditional Indian music.
At Kooza’s core is a story about the Innocent, a naive dreamer in search of meaning who stumbles into a surreal world populated by comedic characters including the King, the Trickster, the Clowns and the playful Mad Dog. It’s a world brought to life through elaborate costumes created by Marie-Chantale Vaillancourt and a fantastical set designed by Stéphane Roy.
Kooza runs for 125 minutes, including a 25-minute intermission. Expect to see high-flying acrobatics and whimsical characters amidst gorgeous sets, highlighted by the lavish costumes and powerful music that Cirque du Soleil has always been known for. This new production also includes a solo aerial silk performance, a repertoire of Icarian games, and a high-octane diabolo act with a triple world champion – all never seen before in Hong Kong.
