Cirque du Soleil returns to London with Kooza, an adrenaline rush of acrobatics in a zany kingdom, within the legendary surroundings of London's Royal Albert Hall - performing now until 19 February.

The story of The Innocent, a melancholy loner in search of his place in the world, Kooza is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil: It combines two circus traditions - acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. The show highlights the physical demands of human performance in all its splendour and fragility, presented in a colourful mélange that emphasises bold slapstick humour.

The Innocent's journey brings him into contact with an array of comic characters such as the King, the Trickster, the Clowns, and the Bad Dog.  Between strength and fragility, laughter and smiles, turmoil and harmony, Kooza explores themes of fear, identity, recognition and power. The show is set in an electrifying and exotic visual world full of surprises, thrills, chills, audacity and total involvement.

Kooza is showing until 19 February at London's Royal Albert Hall.

Tickets are now available at www.cirquedusoleil.com/kooza, and from Ticketmaster here.
