“People
might think that we set out to reinvent the circus, and then just did it. But
things did not happened that way. We were a bunch of crazy people who wanted to
do things, and little by little we came to a vision of what the modern circus
could be.”
René Dupéré, music composer for 10 Cirque du Soleil shows

Under the auspices of their signature yellow and blue tents, Cirque du Soleil brings Kurios, written and directed by Michael Laprise, to life. Under those tents, Cirque implores you to enter a new world. If you enter, you will find wonders in this curios. It is here that all things are possible. Performers are challenged to perform their art - whether it be acts of contortion, the upside down world, or flying through the air on the trapeze - and Kurios enables each artist to bring their talents to a whole new level. One that is out of this world.
Cirque du Soleil's Kurios is a marvel for any age. Anyone can enjoy this timeless tale which embodies what one can do if he or she dare to simply - dream. Truly unleashed before the audience's very eyes is imagination. And what's more is imagination paired with passion. You can't help but see the way that everyone on stage works together to create the whole artistic creation of Kurios. At its core: a dreamer or "seeker." But there is more than meets the eye as is the case at every turn in the show. For Kurios turns mere ordinary objects, say a bicycle or yo-yo, into something extraordinary.
Perhaps the heart of Kurios lies in that it is also the story behind Cirque du Soleil. As musical composer René Dupéré states at the top (see above), the group started "little by little." It was those once "ordinary" folks who started slowly with an idea and created something extraordinary. Now, they have taken those ideas to new heights, on a literal level as each act has to perform their talent and then perform it again with a twist in which movement enhances the challenge and creates a visual effect like no other seen before.
