Kiters and Dancers Promote Cirque du Soleil

kite%20action.JPGCirque du Soleil’s Kooza is opening at the United Center tomorrow night, and if you happen to be downtown tomorrow you may glimpse the groups of street dancers, musicians, and performing artists – dressed in white – that will be moving throughout the Loop to promote the show.

The promoters will be propped with kites, one of Kooza’s whimsical themes, meant to represent freedom and lightness of spirit. But we are guessing the white costumed dancers and kite theatricals are also sure to elicit attention from curious pedestrains throughout the day and during the busy morning and evening rush hours.

In the evening, the dancers will move to the United Center, where they will be stationed in front of the building’s entrance to greet those arriving for the show’s premiere.

I saw these assholes at looptopia.

The peds struggling with their umbrellas this morning were more entertaining.

See Patton Oswald's rant on Cirque du Soleil (pardon the quality of the video):

Thanks, Amy. And thank you Patton Oswald.

Blue Man Group, "The Office", indie music, Tina Fey, musical comedy, Cirque du Soleil...the things I cannot understand passing for entertainment gets bigger every day.
