Premiere Night of KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities by Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil returns to Singapore this year with its most acclaimed touring show, KURIOS – 'Cabinet of Curiosities'. 'KURIOS' is the 6th instalment staged under a huge Big Top Tent, and it premiered on the 5th July 2019 on Bayfront Avenue, next to the Marina Bay Sands.


Every Cirque du Soleil's show is based on a particular theme, and KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities is about a scientist, known as The Seeker, who is convinced that there is an invisible world in his larger-than-life cabinet, which seems to be full of crazy ideas and where grand dreams might await! The setup tells of a tale where time comes to a complete stop, transporting audiences into a fantasy world whereby everything is possible.









Throughout the show, some familiar circus acts were re-imagined by KURIOS ; A Dinner party segment had one of the performers suddenly building a tower of chairs on the table in order to reach a chandelier which was dangling high above them. As the performer was climbing higher and higher, a parallel universe with a mirror image of the dinner table appeared from the ceiling for a surreal effect!


My favorite segment, without giving away any spoilers, had to be the Theater of Hands. It was a unique act involving fingers, which was projected on to a hot air balloon which acted as a screen. I shan't go into it too much, but the use of real time video with close ups of the performers hands/fingers as puppets was amazing! This was really the best part of the show for me. It was perfectly silly, but at the same time utterly magical.



Another act that really thrilled me was the 'ROLA BOLA', and it was the most nail-bitingly terrifying act I’ve ever watched in any theatrical production. I truly could not believe what I was seeing, and even till now after several days from seeing the show, I still cannot comprehend how it is possible to balance oneself on cylinders and planks, especially on a giant swinging platform about thirty feet from the stage!


It was a marvellous performance and kudos to all the acrobats who were involved in this stunning act! If you are new to Cirque du Soleil, this is the best time to get to know and familiarize yourself with the biggest, loudest and the most intense circus performance act in the world!


I had the great pleasure to enter the Big Top Tent to catch KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities by Cirque du Soleil all thanks to Sliding Doors Entertainment!
