Montreal Gazette: “Kurios: A Glimpse for the Curious”

www.cirquefascination.com: Nouveau circus is about to go “Steampunk” antique with Kurios, Cirque du Soleil’s latest tent show scheduled to open April 24 at the Old Port in Montreal.
The look is late 19th century and the locale is a faux village installed at the Paris Exhibition of 1900. The performers arrive by train (of the steam locomotive era), gramophones circle the playing area like ghosts, and a pre-Wright brothers airplane soars above the crowd.

This looks really exciting. I love Cirque and I am excited to have the possibility of seeing a new show! The steampunk idea seems really interesting and fun...I've always thought the steampunk era was extremely interesting the idea of the performers coming out on a train with gramophones flying around them sounds pretty awesome. Like all of their other shows, this cirque show seems to capture the same imagination and magical quality. I want to go to Montreal to see it!
