Luc Tremblay, the artistic director of Cirque Du Soleil, talks about Kooza's spirit.

Luc Tremblay said, "The show is quite interesting because for us it is a little bit of the return to the tradition of circus. Cirque has been exploring different forms of production including the large production in Las Vegas. In this one we wanted to focus more on circus tradition, human performance, and a high level of acrobatics. Something that the audience is close to, can watch closely."

The show is set in an electrifying and exotic visual world, full of thrills.
