Kurios has arrived : Raising the Big Top!

A sunny Saturday afternoon, and we gathered at Bayfront Avenue to witness the raising of the Big Top, signalling the official arrival of the spectacular show KURIOS by Cirque du Soleil.  The photo above was before the tent was raised.

Cirque du Soleil returning to Singapore with KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities

After thrilling the Singapore audience with Kooza, Cirque du Soleil would be returning to our shores with another production KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities from 5 July to 4 August.  Tickets are available via Sistic, cirquedusoleil.com/kurios, or over the phone at +65 6348 5555.

KURIOS will premiere under a brand-new white-and-grey Big on Bayfront Avenue, next to Marina Bay Sands. Written and directed by Michel Laprise, KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities is a tale in which time comes to a complete stop, transporting the audience inside a fantasy world where everything is possible. Set in the latter half of the nineteenth century, a scientist (“The Seeker”) is convinced that there exists a hidden world – a place where the craziest ideas and the grandest dreams await. Out of his curio cabinet steps an international cast of 47 artists from 17 countries, a collection of otherworldly characters made up of world-class gymnasts, acrobats, contortionists, hand-puppeteers, yo-yo wizards, clowns, actors and musicians. Together they turn the Seeker’s steampunk world upside-down as they are guided by an energetic gypsy jazz, electro swing soundtrack.

Cirque du Soleil is known for its slick production and daring acrobatic stunts, and it should not be any different for KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities.
