We went to see Kooza, the Cirque du Solei traveling French circus show last night. How amazing! No animal acts- all comedy, clowns, contortion, acrobatics, and music. We've never seen anything like this. It's not what I normally think of as a circus. It's much more of a show. In fact, I know they do a lot of this in Vegas.
Contortionsits.
High wire act. The men on the bottom were on bicycles on a high wire.... supporting the man on the chair above them.
And the crowd favorite- the Wheel of Death. These guys are beyond belief... spinning and running and flipping inside and out of the rings.
The show is in Portland for a month. Our son called us yesterday and said he had tickets for us. What a surprise! We had an evening to remember.

I would love to see a Cirque show live!
What a wonderful surprise and the show sounds amazing!
What a wonderful Mother's Day gift! It is a great show!
I have never been to one of their shows, but I did get to see a Barnum and Baily one, once. What a fun way to spend the day.

We saw Kooza when it was here in Southern California. It was great. I tried for years to get Bob to go; we finally went about 5 years ago, and now never miss, if we can.
I've seen the Cirque de Solei show, also. I can't believe what some people can do with their bodies. It is just amazing and surreal!
Neat photos, Sue. I've always been curious about this show. Looks like fun!
I am so jealous, but very happy for you!
