Surreal, original, spectacular

The Montreal circus troupe is well known for its collection of acts that is well known for its Avant-grade circus act. Even if you are familiar with Cirque Du Soleil, Kurios will dazzle you with sights that would make you gasp with delight, leaving you bewitched and bewildered.

The tempo got a notch higher when the acts started rolling in. It kicked off with The Aerial Bicycle suspended in midair. Masterfully controlled by the acrobat, it would make ET blush. Other noteworthy gravity-defying acts include Rola Bola - A fearless aviator balancing on 8 cylinders while on a swing!
Another act the Upsidedown World takes the traditional balancing act into another dimension with a parallel act running concurrently from the ceiling. A pair of Siamese Twins followed up by soaring to impressive heights while performing an overhead ballet.

The loudest oohs and ahhs were reserved for the Acro Net acrobats. Set in a vast ocean, these fish-men slingshot 60 feet to the top of the tent on the bouncing net. A truly remarkable sight!

The show finale was the Banquine, a group of 13 jumpers that form human pyramids with somersaults and flips to the delight of the audience. It's a hoot to see big grown muscular men trying to jive to the beat too.
Hilariously dangerous act!
Housed under the Big Tent, Kurios has an intimate stage that would bring the audience closer to the action. With a live band dictating the pace, it is a non-stop assault on the senses. This is one show that asks you to shed your inhabitants and let your imagination run wild. Let your curiosity out and embrace the world that would be revealed to you.
