While driving through downtown Atlanta, you can’t help but notice the huge yellow and blue tents constructed right by Atlantic Station.  It’s the Cirque Du Soleil show “Kooza.”   http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/CirqueDuSoleil/en/showstickets/kooza/intro/intro.htm
 A magnificent performance of acrobatics fused with art and music.  I couldn’t help but overhear a conversation at work that there were not only one, but two Cirque Du Soleil shows in Atlanta; at the same time!  I thought this very bizarre as they would be competing against themselves.

After further research online, J and I came to the conclusion that this other show we’ll humorously title “Peu de Cirque” is nothing but a phony; an imposter!  Some highly intelligent individual out of the sunny state of FL decided it would be ok to start a circus that mimics Cirque Du Soleil.  But why just stop there?  How about borrowing the main part of their name, “Cirque.”  Cirque Du Soleil tried to sue for the use of their name but nothing came of it as the courts ruled “Cirque” was just the French pronunciation for “Circus” and that anyone could use it.  It goes to show that if you start something that is a success, many individuals will try their hardest to ride your coat tails. 

I hope that everyone will visit the Kooza show as it is the real deal and not the generic version.  It may cost a few extra bucks but I’m sure it will be more than worth it.  I can’t wait to see it!!!
