Average performances, but of very high quality. An extraordinary atmosphere. A mix of theatricality and quirkiness. A must-see. No photography allowed

In Bilbao, Cirque du Soleil KURIOS Cabinet of Curiosities reimagines the circus as a steampunk-inspired wonderland, where daring acrobats, contortionists, and eccentric inventions turn the impossible into reality.

Under the direction of Michel Laprise, with an original score by Raphaël Beau, the show has been praised by the San Francisco Chronicle as “the most enthralling, consistently over-the-top magical show the company has sent our way in years.”

At its core is the Seeker’s cabinet, a fantastical realm where eccentric characters, mechanical curiosities, and surreal encounters unfold through Cirque du Soleil’s signature artistry.

Catch this production during its limited run at Under the Big Top, at Ansio Fairgrounds, Barakaldo, and book your Cirque du Soleil KURIOS Cabinet of Curiosities tickets in Bilbao now!

The story

Inside his enormous mechanical cabinet, the Seeker imagines an unseen world brimming with dreams and ideas. One day, a troupe of peculiar and otherworldly characters bursts in, flipping his reality upside down through humor, poetry, and astonishing acrobatics. Each invention comes alive, blurring the boundaries between the real and the imagined. Set in a timeless, alternate past, the story invites audiences to venture beyond what’s familiar and embrace the extraordinary. The question remains: Will the Seeker open himself to this new world, or retreat to what he knows?

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.

The show was wonderful, although I couldn't see it very well because my tickets (which I paid 154 euros for the two of them) were for seats behind a pillar that blocked the stage

All I can say is that the whole time the show was going on, the word "AMAZING" just kept coming out of my mouth—I kept saying it without even realizing it

Spectacular, very eye-catching, though the view from the sides could be improved—the lighting columns get in the way. Highly recommended.
