LA NOUBA by CIRQUE DU SOLEIL
Roy Webb
After a few days of Orlando's entertainment parks it is such a pleasure to sit down and be transported into the world of La Nouba by Cirque du Soleil. Located in Downtown Disney West Side at the Walt Disney World Resort. The show title originates from the French phrase "faire la Nouba," which means "to party, to live it up."
La Nouba transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, engaging the imagination from beginning to end. With opulent sets, brilliant choreography, theatrical lighting and live music, the show features mesmerizing high wire and flying trapeze, stunning acro-gymnastic performances and other dynamic displays of coordination and strength. La Nouba promises to surprise, excite and mystify with an international cast of more than 65 artists.
Once upon a time, a door opened and two worlds collided. Dreams clashed with reality. The mundane mixed with the marvelous, and it was no longer possible to tell where one world began and the other ended. This Cirque du Soleil creation is an unforgettable journey through this universe-at once threatening and exhilarating, frightening and familiar. La Nouba is the story of all stories, the site of all mysteries, where dreams and nightmares sleep side by side. La Nouba is memory, individual and universal. It beckons to us, challenges us to uncover passions we thought we had lost long ago. Here, anything is possible.
From a group of 20 street performers at its beginning in 1984, Cirque du Soleil is now a major international organization providing high-quality artistic entertainment. Since its founding, Cirque du Soleil has thrilled over 70 million spectators in close to 200 cities on five continents.

Another show that opens on October 16, 2009 in Santa Monica is KOOZA. KOOZA tells the story of The Innocent, a melancholy loner in search of his place in the world. KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil: It combines two circus traditions - acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. The show highlights the physical demands of human performance in all its splendor and fragility, presented in a colorful mélange that emphasizes bold slapstick humor. Between strength and fragility, laughter and smiles, turmoil and harmony, KOOZA 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.
