Cirque Du Soleil - Kurios: Cabinet of Curiosities in Madrid

Step into a whimsical steampunk universe where a late 19th-century inventor defies the laws of time, space, and dimension. Created and directed by Michel Laprise, Kurios: Cabinet of Curiosities invites audiences into a world of mechanical marvels and otherworldly characters. The show fuses jazz with electro swing in its score, composed by Raphaël Beau in collaboration with Bob and Bill, creating a sonic backdrop that complements the visual spectacle.

Attendees can expect a dazzling array of acts including the Russian cradle, aerial bicycle, contortion, balancing on chairs, rola bola, acro net, aerial straps, yo-yo, and banquine. The production eschews brightly colored eye candy for a dark, mysterious aesthetic, earning praise as Cirque du Soleil's strongest act in years. From the synchronized chaos of the opening to the gravity-defying finale, every moment is crafted to astonish.

This touring production has been hailed as a classic by critics, running like clockwork and offering a kinetic, whimsical experience. The San Francisco Chronicle called it the best Cirque du Soleil show in a long time, while the Chicago Tribune described it as not to be missed on any account.
