Box of tricks

The circus is back in town as Cirque du Soleil returns to Singapore once again with its production of Kooza.

The title is inspired by the Sanskrit word "koza" which means "treasure chest" - something which the international cast of 50 acrobats, musicians and singers from 19 countries will spring out from on stage to perform daredevil stunts before the audience's eyes.

The plot revolves around The Innocent (who represents the child within us) as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery through a kingdom of eccentric characters.
