Cirque de Soleil’s KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities is coming back to the Royal Albert Hall for a limited run between 13 January and 28 February 2027.

What is KURIOS like?
KURIOS is a steampunk inspired spectacle. It takes place in an alternate yet familiar past, inside the mechanical lab of an inventor, called the Seeker.
The seeker is convinced that there exists a hidden, invisible world – a place where the craziest ideas and the grandest dreams await. He discovers that to glimpse the marvels that lie below the surface we must first learn to close our eyes and trust our imaginations.
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 grandest dreams await. A collection of otherworldly characters suddenly step into his makeshift mechanical world and jump to life one by one before his very eyes.
Once the inventor succeeds to unlock the door to this world of wonders, time comes to a complete stop and an uplifted cast of otherworldly characters invades his curio cabinet, bringing his makeshift creations to life one by one. As the visible becomes invisible and perspectives transform, KURIOS bursts into a celebration of the power of the imagination.
KURIOS premiered in Montreal in 2014, and had its European premiere at the Royal Albert Hall in 2023. It has entertained over 4.5 million spectators in 30 cities worldwide with over 2,000 performances brought to life by its cast of 49 artists.
