The magical world of Cirque du Soleil comes back to Redmond with crazy acrobatics, beautiful costumes, and all the antics that make these shows so much fun!
In Focus: Cirque du Soleil's Kooza
Can't Miss It: Thursday
CLOWNING AROUND: In the recent past, Cirque du Soleil leaned more toward show than cirque, entertaining still, but not in the way that people have loved and raved about for two decades. Yet Kooza, one of the company's three touring shows, is Cirque in traditional form, centering on acrobatic performance and the fine art of clowning. Kooza, the story of “The Innocent, a melancholy loner in search of his place in the world,” spotlights ten acrobatic acts, seven characters, and music that draws on both 70s funk and traditional Indian. Looking to impress a date? Need some light heartedness to balance out the early June gloom? Really into well-dressed clowns? Look no further.
Corteo by Cirque Du Soleil is a Must See
Corteo is one of the most dynamic and creative artistic exploits of body movement that you can see in the United States. You can still buy tickets here and performances continue until May 4 at Marymoor Park in Redmond.

MOMIX: Looks Great, Less Filling
A few days ago, we said that MOMIX is "the thinking person's Cirque Du Soleil" and we'd like to take that back now. That's not to say that their new work "Opus Cactus" wasn't beautiful, color-drenched, packed with impressive technique, and expertly executed, because it was all those things. It just wasn't anything more. "Opus Cactus" was like ordering an iPod and opening the perfect, sleek packaging only to discover someone screwed up at the factory and your new gadget wasn't there: gorgeous to look at, but nothing substantive under the surface.
