The opening show of Kooza from Cirque du Soleil in Vancouver was incredible! BC Field Reporter Chris Wheeler checks out backstage before seeing the big show!

KOOZA – a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil – 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. Performances run from July 22 – September 5, 2010 under the Grand Chapiteau Big Top Tent on the Concord Pacific lands in Vancouver’s False Creek area.Info at: http://tiny.cc/Kooza
