Entertainment

Acrobatics that push the body to its limits, a steampunk aesthetic and attention to detail underpin the latest show of the Canadian company

Curiosity is the driving force that makes the world go round. A need to explore the different, which Cirque du Soleil interprets in the form of somersaults, daring feats of balance and impossible contortions.

Two years after Alegría, Cirque du Soleil returns to Malaga with the premiere of Kurios, a show that will run in the big top at the fairgrounds until 5 July.

Kurios has the ability to surprise both Cirque du Soleil newbies and those already familiar with the Canadian company. It's a production with a very distinct identity within the Cirque du Soleil brand.

Its retrofuturistic steampunk aesthetic is striking, transporting the viewer to an alternate 19th century. The music, with cabaret, jazz and vintage sounds that take precedence over the classic epic tone of other productions, reflects the narrative.
