Cirque du Soleil KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities: Barcelona Tickets
Cirque du Soleil KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities arrives in Barcelona with a fantastical world crafted by Michel Laprise, whose Cirque work includes KÀ and the 2012 Super Bowl halftime show. Set in an alternate past, the story follows a Seeker convinced that a hidden universe sits just beyond logic. As mechanical contraptions hum to life, contortion, aerial work, balancing acts, live music, and comic characters reshape his reality. Philippe Guillotel’s inventive costumes, Stéphane Roy’s steampunk-inspired set, and Raphaël Beau’s musical direction build a world where imagination overrides physics.
A curious inventor known as the Seeker believes an unseen world lies beneath the everyday. As he experiments with bizarre machines, extraordinary figures emerge: acrobats who defy balance, characters who bend time, and creatures shaped by imagination rather than physics. Each act opens a new layer of this strange realm, challenging what is real and what is performed. When the Seeker finally confronts his own creations, the boundary between invention and truth begins to dissolve.
