Toronto, MAY 7, 2014 – Due to an overwhelming reception in Montreal and strong reviews, Cirque du Soleil announced today that 10 additional performances will be added to the limited engagement of their new production, KURIOS – Cabinet of curiosities™, directed by Michel Laprise and presented by Desjardins, at Toronto’s Port Lands, extending its Toronto run until October 5, 2014.
The extension is perfectly timed to make for an unexpected, magical Mother’s Day gift! Treat the most important woman in your life to the awe-inspiring spectacle that is KURIOS – Cabinet of curiosities. Tickets can be purchased http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/kurios.
The show premiered in Montreal on April 24, and will travel to Quebec City July 24 before the Big Top opens at Toronto's Port Lands on August 28, 2014.
The show
In an alternate yet familiar past, in a place where wonders abound for those who trust their imagination, a Seeker discovers that in order to glimpse the marvels that lie just below the surface, we must first learn to close our eyes.
In his larger-than-life curio cabinet, the Seeker is convinced that there exists a hidden, invisible world – a place where the craziest ideas and the grandest dreams lie waiting. A collection of otherworldly characters suddenly steps into his makeshift mechanical world. When the outlandish, benevolent characters turn his world upside down with a touch of poetry and humor in an attempt to ignite the Seeker’s imagination, his curios jump to life one by one before his very eyes.
What if by engaging our imagination and opening our minds we could unlock the door to a world of wonders?
