May well be time for you to quit your job and run away with the circus, folks.

The circus is back! The iconic blue-and-yellow big top is heading our way, with Cirque Du Soleil announcing a string of Australian dates for its new show Kooza.

A throwback of sorts, the performance is all about embracing the origins of the travelling carnival, and will undoubtedly feature the blend of heart-stopping acrobatics and deeply moving beauty that the circus has become famous for.

Kooza premieres on Thursday August 25 at the Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park. More information is available on its website, here.
