"Things are getting curious and curiouser at the Cirque du Soleil," said the Montreal Gazette the morning of March 7, 2014, as Cirque du Soleil revealed the unusual moniker for KURIOS – the Cabinet of Curiosities, directed by Michel Laprise. Presented under the Big Top in Montréal's Old Port starting April 24, the show asked what if you could alter reality at will? Delve into a world of curiosity where seeing is disbelieving: the world of KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities from Cirque du Soleil. The show immerses you in a mysterious and fascinating realm that disorients your senses and challenges your perceptions, leaving you to wonder: "Is it real, or just a figment of my imagination?"

Step into the curio cabinet of an ambitious inventor who defies the laws of time, space and dimension in order to reinvent everything around him. Suddenly, the visible becomes invisible, perspectives are transformed, and the world is literally turned upside down in a place that's as beautiful as it is mysterious. In this realm set in the latter half of the nineteenth century, reality is quite relative indeed as our perception of it is utterly transformed. The name of the show refers to the humble and strange characters that inhabit the Seeker's Cabinet of Curiosities. KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities takes is inspiration from the latter half of the 19th century, when railroads made long-distance travel easier and inventions like the telegraph improved communications. "For the people of the 19th century, everything seemed possible," Laprise said. KURIOS is an ingenious blend of unusual curiosity acts and stunning acrobatic prowess from Cirque du Soleil. Let KURIOS show you that anything is possible through the power of imagination!
