The Consummate Courtesan and Cirque

The Consummate Courtesan is a lover of the performance arts.




Having had a background in dance (I studied ballet from the age of 9), I have a great interest in theatrical performances, dance groups and of course the ballet. I am a big fan of Cirque du Soleil. I've seen and loved numerous shows in cities worldwide and they never seem to fail at putting together a well crafted, mystical and ingenious production. Cirque does an incredible job of combining exoticism, world music, and exquisite artistry in the form of dance and acrobatics

The company’s 20th production, Kooza is one of my preferred shows and highly recommended . Kooza influence comes from India, inspired by the name koza which apparently is Sanskrit for treasure or chest. It tells the story of an innocent boy searching for his place in this world. It relies on its story telling clowns and breathtaking choreography to drive the show.

It is a gorgeous show evoking a unique mixture of joy, fear, and inspiration scene after delectable scene. The acrobatics are incredible, a real testament of how one can triumph over the laws of physics and the limitations of human anatomy.

As with every Cirque production, I enjoy being sucked into their imaginary world.

As Always,


The Consummate Courtesan
