Cirque du Soleil - KURIOS

KURIOS™ – CABINET OF CURIOSITIES 

KURIOS is a dizzying escape from reality. It is a breathtaking spectacle, revealing a joyous universe inspired by steampunk where the unexpected lurks behind every corner. The audience will be treated to a combination of death-defying acrobatics and an inspiring touch of poetry, wonderful music, and a dash of humour.

KURIOS is set in an alternative history that nonetheless feels familiar, in the mechanical lab of a Seeker who is convinced that a hidden, invisible world exists — a place where the wildest ideas and the greatest dreams await him. As soon as the Seeker manages to open the door to this world of wonders, time comes to a complete standstill and a cheerful cast of characters from another world burst into his cabinet of curiosities, bringing his improvised creations to life one at a time. As the visible becomes invisible and perspectives shift and slide, KURIOS erupts into a celebration of strength and imagination.

The best way to access Cirque du Soleil is via the footpath between Kalvekeetdijk 179 (Brink Office) and Kalvekeetdijk 181 (central cemetery), directly opposite the AZ Zeno car park. From the car park, it about 300 metres' walk to the tent entrance.
