“Kooza” is coming to the South Bay.
Having just wrapped up its lengthy stay in San Francisco, the vibrant Cirque du Soleil big-top spectacle opens for a multiweek run, April 18 to May 26, at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose.
It marks the first time that the iconic Cirque du Soleil big-top tent has visited the Bay Area’s most populous city since 2019. And it was certainly no small feat to set up — reportedly requiring more than 80 crew members and 70 local stagehands to raise the tent earlier this month.
Now, it’s time for Silicon Valley Cirque du Soleil fans to start enjoying the many wonders of “Kooza,” which offers up the Montreal-based company’s signature mix of amazing acrobatics and feats of skill, quizzical characters, beautiful costumes, memorable music and plenty of both poignant and humorous moments.

Of course, some still remember “Kooza” from its previous trip through the Bay Area, which occurred back in 2007 in San Francisco. And those same people would likely agree that this is one show that is certainly worth seeing twice.
Tickets are available at cirquedusoleil.com/kooza.
