who says the circus is just for kids? apparently not. droves of people, young and old young-at-heart (including philippe and me), flocked to the santa monica pier two nights ago to see “kooza”, one of the touring shows performed by the cirque du soleil company. i have always loved cirque shows because of the modern twist they bring to reinvent the circus — they do away with the use of animals. instead, they create a storyline backed by an amazing theatrical performance, complete with live music, jaw-dropping acrobatics and stunts, and some “clowning” around. here are some highlights from the night.
