The Big Top
• 20m high, 51m diameter. • Supported by four steel masts 25m high. • Raising team of about 70 people and more than 100 poles. • Can accommodate about 2600 people. • Air conditioning and heating.
Cirque du Soleil has raised its Big Top tent in Auckland as it getsready to open its latest show, Kooza.
It is more than four years since Cirque du Soleil dazzled Kiwis with Totem, and Kooza is described as a breathtaking homage to the traditions of circus.
Kooza, with an international cast of 50 acrobats, musicians, singers and actors, follows The Innocent as he journeys through a colourful world of eccentric characters and white-knuckle thrills.
