The Innocent is just a clown trying to find their way in the world. We can relate to that.

Cirque du Soleil fans can help the endearing hero on their journey of self-discovery at “KOOZA,” the circus arts performance company’s latest show to stop in the City of Roses. Running Wednesday, Aug. 21 to Sunday, Oct. 6 at the Portland Expo Center, this exciting show transports the protagonist to a bizarre kingdom filled with dancing skeletons, a mysterious trickster, the Wheel of Death, and more. Patrons will also see thrilling aerial performances under the big top, as acrobats soar around the stage in vibrant costumes.
