February 25 – March 14. Grand Chapiteau, Del Mar Fairgrounds. 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd., Del Mar.  If you’ve ever had the dream of experiencing Cirque du Soleil, there is no better time than now. KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil, combining two circus traditions: acrobatics 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 of bold slapstick humor.  We dare you to not be completely enamored.  P.S. The three female contortionists will blow your mind.  Seriously.  800-450-1480. cirquedusoleil.com/kooza.
