The symbol of the Sun Circus 'KOOZA', a huge 'Big Top', finally appeared on the 5,000 pyeong site in Centum City, Busan on the 9th. Taeyang Circus, which completed its first Asian tour successfully in Hong Kong, drew attention by choosing Busan as its first performance city in Korea rather than the capital Seoul. In particular, it is special and symbolic in itself that a huge big top is built in the middle of the city center, which is a mixture of large department stores, offices, and residences located in the center of Busan Centum City.

The Circus of the Sun Big Top and its facilities boast overwhelming prestige enough to be called a moving village. The big tower, which can accommodate about 2,500 seats, consists of a special vinyl canvas, and is huge, about 20 meters high and about 51 meters in diameter. In addition to the big top, there will be a lobby tent equipped with MD, F&B and Beer Garden, a dressing room, a training center complete with facilities and equipment, and an artistic tent equipped with physical therapy room. Kitchen facilities, which are the heart of the village, are also one of the essential spaces. The place, which serves meals three times a day, five days a week, is also used as a meeting place for the cast and staff. Not only does it have a system to supply power, water, and sewage for all these facilities, but all tents in the big top are equipped with cooling and heating facilities, so you can enjoy comfortable performances. More than 120 people, including 54 artists, participated in the concert and continued for 40 days in Busan, so a huge village was built.
Mitko Hristov, who is in charge of stage carpentry and prop management in Kuja, has built over 130 columns with more than 100 staff members. We put more than 1,200 stakes in order to strongly support the big top,' he said, explaining the big top-raising, which launched a full-fledged signal of a Korean performance. Another official said "The Big Tower has four anchors of about 25 meters, and there are four flags there. The first is a Korean flag indicating that the Kuja team is performing in Korea. Next, we can check the flag of QUEBACK and Canada, which indicate the circus origin of the Sun. Finally, let's see that the Circus flag of the Sun is a big top tent," he said, adding meaning to the description of the flags representing the sun's circus and Korean performances.

The existence of a big top is of great significance in that it provides a special experience in which performing arts directly contact urban space beyond simple performance installation. In addition, Kuja, in the form of a silent play that conveys emotion only with gestures and music without language barriers, naturally touches the identity of Busan, which welcomes visitors of various nationalities as a global tourist city. The big top will move to Seoul in October after the show.
Kuja, a solar circus that will fill a big top of its unique scale with shudder and emotion, offers an unforgettable experience through phenomenal acrobatic performances, clown art, and colorful and interesting characters. Performances that provide extreme tension such as high-wire, teeterboard, and wheel of death will remind the audience of new senses and provide surprise and pleasure at the same time.
Kuja's Busan performance will be available from the 21st to the 28th of next month.
Meanwhile, The Sun Circus is a global organization in the field of live entertainment that has broken and expanded the boundaries of imagination over the past 40 years, and has made creative attempts in various fields of entertainment such as multimedia production, immersive experiences, and special events.

Since its founding in 1984, it has inspired more than 400 million people in six continents and 86 countries.
