KURIOS. Gabinete de Curiosidades

A circus and magic show by the Canadian company Cirque du Soleil, coming to Madrid with a steampunk-inspired production combining acrobatics, poetry and humour.

KURIOS – Gabinete de Curiosidades is a circus and magic show by Cirque du Soleil, touring Spain for the first time. The story is set in an alternative, familiar-feeling past: a scientist works in his mechanical laboratory, convinced that there is a hidden universe, invisible to the naked eye, where the wildest ideas and the most ambitious dreams live.

When the scientist manages to open the door to this realm, time stops and a group of characters from another world burst into his cabinet, bringing his improvised inventions to life one by one. Over the course of the performance, the visible and the invisible swap places and the narrative turns into a celebration of the power of the imagination. On stage, a cast of 50 artists performs large-scale acrobatics alongside elements of poetry, art and humour, within a steampunk-inspired aesthetic.

The production is set up under the Big Top at the Escenario Puerta del Ángel, in Madrid. After its premiere in Montreal, the show has toured numerous cities around the world, and this is the first time it has been presented in Spain.
