Houston, TX--Special delivery! A large package arrives at the start of "Kooza" - and as it comes from Cirque du Soleil, it's no surprise that it brings a host of surprises and wonders.
A tall, take-charge figure known as the Trickster springs from the giant jack-in-the-box, startling the Innocent, meek recipient of the gift and leading him on a voyage of discovery.
Creator-director David Shiner and his gifted collaborators have given "Kooza" consistent style, joyous mood and a sense of magic, with the right balance of variety and continuity.

Agile dancer/acrobat Jason Berrent's Trickster conjures up the show with commanding presence, while Cedric Belisle enacts the wide-eyed Innocent with wistful charm. They supply the situational frame, along with the clowns they encounter.
