Cirque du Soleil’s quirky Kurios dazzles and delights at the Royal Albert Hall – review
For those unfamiliar with Cirque du Soleil, this Canadian circus company has been delighting audiences around the world for almost 40 years, lighting up stages with a dazzling array of tricks and stunts.
We adored their previous production Luzia – A Waking Dream of Mexico when it opened in London; in fact we ended up checking it out twice, as the run was interrupted by Covid and resumed post-lockdown.
We had no complaints though, as that production was absolutely spectacular. Kurios – Cabinet of Curiosities follows the same formula as its predecessor.
There isn’t much in the way of a plot; instead, Kurios revolves around a theme, with the show unfolding more as a series of vignettes, united by the visual aesthetic and musical style of the production.
