I saw Kooza last night, and while it was pretty good—especially the sick demon drum solo—I really only have one important thing to say, and it’s not directed at Cirque du Soleil, it’s to the people of Calgary: STOP FUCKING GIVING STANDING OVATIONS FOR NO FUCKING REASON!!! Seriously people, a standing ovation is a powerful, deeply emotional thing. Calgarians are genociding it by making sure that no live performance in town ever finishes without every tool in the audience jumping to their feet out of instinct—without any regard whatsoever to the quality of the show they’ve just witnessed. Please stop insulting these talented artists and crew members by negating their chance of experiencing an authentic standing ovation; I guarantee they can tell the difference.
