Performance NotesCirque du Soleil return to the Royal Albert Hall with their sensational show KOOZA, following the show's hugely successful UK premiere at the venue in 2013. KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil, combining the two circus traditions of acrobatics and clowning in spectacular style. Set in an electrifying and exotic visual world full of surprises, thrills and chills, it tells the story of The Innocent, a melancholy loner in search of his place in the world, through contortionists, trapeze-artists, the high wire and the breathtaking 'Wheel of Death'.

Running time 2 hours 20 minutes. An in-the-round performance with theatrical and acrobatic staging.

A red carpet and marquee were hosted in the West Car Park for the premiere.
