[Review] KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities
Extraordinary. Surreal. Mesmerising. And simply world-class.
Throughout the 2.5 hours, we kept gasping about how those acts were just breathtaking (literally) and some were just not even imaginably possible!
KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities
I seldom share lifestyle reviews on this page, but KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities by Cirque du Soleil, the highlight of our weekend, definitely deserves mention.
Made up of an international cast of 47 artists from 17 countries, the act was a collection of otherworldly characters made up of world-class gymnasts, acrobats, contortionists, hand-puppeteers, yo-yo wizards, clowns, actors and musicians.
Choreography and Set-Up
I wouldn't want to share too much spoilers here, but the whole choreography, music, set pieces, and stunts were just really perfectly and harmoniously put together.
Journey with the Seeker to find out his craziest ideas and grandest dreams, and you will be rewarded with an extraordinarily mysterious yet surreal experience. The acting was world class and stunts were jaw-droppingly unbelievable.
Audience Engagement
And oh yes, we loved the audience engagement too. At certain points, the act also came up close to us.
Our Favourite
One of our most memorable segments was the rola bola, with the performer standing on multiple cylinders on a swinging swing without holding on to the sides! (I would have just fallen while standing on a swing haha!)
