A Box of Wonders
Introducing Kooza, an enchanting tale that follows the journey of a young and innocent clown in search of his rightful place in the world. As fate would have it, during a kite-flying escapade, he stumbles upon a mysterious box brimming with delightful surprises. Thus, embarking on a thrilling adventure of self-discovery and unearthing hidden truths along the way.
_____ MOOD
The name Kooza is inspired by the Sanskrit word which means "box", "chest" or "treasure". It was chosen because the underlying concept of the production was the idea of a "circus in a box". As a result, our captivating campaign revolves around a mystical box, enchanting audiences with its astonishing revelations. At the heart of the narrative lies the Trickster, a pivotal character, guiding our innocent clown through a captivating journey encompassing both light and shadow within the exhilarating realm of the circus.
