Cirque du Soleil - KOOZA, Under the Grand Chapiteau at Bayside Expo Center, Boston

Under the Grand Chapiteau at Bayside Expo Center, 200 Mount Vernon St., Boston
Cirque du Soleil will return to Boston at a new location with its latest big top touring production KOOZA, set to open on Friday, September 5, 2008. KOOZA will perform at Bayside Expo Center under the trademark blue-and-yellow Grand Chapiteau (Big Top) for a limited engagement.
KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil that combines two circus traditions - acrobatic performance 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 that emphasizes bold slapstick humor.

• Thursdays thru Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
• Sundays at 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.

The Machinery of Heaven: glass sculpture by Steven Easton
Location:
Fuller Craft Museum 455 Oak Street
Glass artist Steven Easton will use Fuller Craft's Merton Tarlow gallery as an environment to explore his ideas about portraits, classical antiquity, religion, science and the natural world. This exhibition has challenged Easton to take his ideas–which up to this point have been manifested in individual objects—to a larger, more inclusive, and ultimately more compelling scope and scale. As Easton explains, “Nature and its beauty is the foundation of my work – energy and matter, in myriad forms, whirl in a complicated dance that is a celebration of life. Celestial bodies, moving inexorably through the heavens, hum in rhythm with the beating of our own hearts. Everything is connected and has meaning. This belief is infinitely reassuring as we humans move through time.”
