«KURIOS. Gabinete de Curiosidades de Cirque du Soleil»

A scientist’s cabinet is packed with strange devices and mechanical constructions. Its owner is convinced that the world we know hides another, inhabited by the most unusual ideas. When he manages to open the door to that universe, time stands still and the laboratory fills with unexpected characters.

This is how «KURIOS. Gabinete de Curiosidades» begins, presented by Cirque du Soleil for the first time in Spain. In Madrid, performances will take place from 30 October to 7 December under the big top at Escenario Puerta del Ángel.

The action unfolds in an imagined past where mechanical inventions coexist with fantasy. The costumes and set design are inspired by steampunk aesthetics, while acrobatics are combined with humour and theatre. As the characters explore the cabinet, the scientist’s creations gradually come to life.
