The story
Set in an alternate past shaped by invention and illusion, Cirque du Soleil KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities follows a Seeker convinced that an invisible world exists beneath everyday reality. When unexpected characters slip from his mechanical workshop into view, they challenge how he perceives space, possibility, and imagination. Through circus tableaux, physical comedy, and live music, the line between curiosity and transformation blurs. As the Seeker’s world unravels and expands, the question becomes whether he can fully open the door to the universe he’s been trying to find.

SoloVerified booking5 days ago5/5The best show I've ever seen. Unfortunately, they don't allow cell phone recording (even without the flash!)—cell phones must be turned off—so I recommend bringing a separate camera.MMichel L

SoloVerified booking6 days ago5/5Amazing—I loved everything: the costumes, the makeup, and the organization. The only downside was the price of some drinks—4.50 for a bottle of water is way too much.MMiquel P
