Experience
Charivari
(2007+)


The 19 artists of the House Troupe burst into action off the top of the show, combining acrobatics, rapid-fire costume changes and rebounds from three miniature trampolines set in the stage. The act highlights include human pyramids, bodies flying through the air and a "crash bash" – a daring dive into a circle of fabric inspired by the "Nalukauq," the traditional Inuit game of "Blanket Toss" and the landing mats used by firefighters.

As the stage lights rise, we find The Innocent at play with his kite, attempting to get it aloft. When a courier interrupts to bring him a rather large-sized package (“Delivery for Mr. Innocent!”), things turn mysterious - he's not expecting a package. The parcel is a peculiar box, strangely festooned and ornamented, with no return address on hand. Mr. Innocent runs his hands over and pokes at the chest, which opens - the devilish Tickster bursts onto the scene like a jack-in-a-box! He produces a magical wand that, with the flick of a wrist, illuminates the world of Koozå and places its machinery in motion. The lights come up, the Bataclan comes into motion and the music begins to play in earnest. He really get's things moving!

The show burst into action with the house troupe in Charivari, a cacophony of acrobatics, song, and movement. Using small trampolines imbedded in the stage, the house troupe jumped, bounced and flew to create a whimsical world for The Innocent to enjoy. But they also showed off their various skills by forming human pyramids of various sizes and numbers, manipulating Dralions, and generally running amok. The act culminated with the “Crash Bash”, a daring dive into a circle of fabric inspired by traditional Inuit game of blanket toss, which event got the Innocent in on the act.
