KURIOS - Cabinet of Curiosities, one of Cirque du Soleil's most imaginative shows, arrives in Barcelona to install its universe of acrobatics, humor, visual poetry and retro-futuristic aesthetics under the Big Top. The show invites the audience to enter the cabinet of a Seeker convinced that, just below the visible reality, there is a world full of wonders.
In this production, science, fantasy and contemporary circus blend in a visual experience designed to amaze both adults and children. KURIOS is a good option for those looking for a great family show in Barcelona, with high level acrobatic numbers, eccentric characters, live music and a very careful staging.
A trip to the cabinet of wonders
The story of KURIOS takes place in an alternative past, familiar and strange at the same time, where an inventor opens the door to an invisible world inhabited by unexpected creatures. From there, the stage is transformed into a laboratory of imagination: mechanical objects, impossible machines, extravagant characters and scenes that constantly play with the spectator's perception.
The result is a highly visual show, with the characteristic mark of Cirque du Soleil: precision acrobatics, humor, music, spectacular costumes and an atmosphere that combines the spirit of the old cabinets of curiosities with an aesthetic close to steampunk. It is not just a succession of circus acts, but a stage experience designed to immerse the audience in a world of its own.
Why see KURIOS in Barcelona?
KURIOS is especially recommended for those who enjoy shows that combine circus, visual theater and fantasy. The production is designed for all audiences, although it should be noted that it includes loud noises, dark scenes and flashing lights. For families with children, it can be a very special experience if you are looking for a different, spectacular and easy-to-remember plan.
It is also a good choice for visitors who want to include a large international production in their trip to Barcelona. The installation of the Big Top adds to the charm of the experience: arriving at the venue, entering the Cirque du Soleil atmosphere and experiencing the show as a complete event, not just as a theatrical performance.
