Cirque du Soleil’s Kurios Premieres with Star-Studded Red Carpet Event in Knokke-Heist

BVThe world famous Cirque du Soleil has again pitched its big tent in our country after six years. The premiere of Kurios, their impressive steampunk spectacle full of acrobatics, music and humour, took place in Knokke-Heist on Thursday evening. And that promising mix lured many famous people to the red carpet where – for the sake of safety – they did not do any breakneck tricks, but showed their best side.

Kurios is set in an alternate but familiar past, in the mechanical lab of a Vorser convinced that a hidden, unseen world exists – a place where the craziest ideas and the biggest dreams await. Once the Vorser manages to open the door to this world of wonders, time comes to a complete standstill and a cheerful cast of alien characters invade his curio cabinet, bringing his improvised creations to life one by one. As the visible becomes invisible and the perspectives change, Kurios erupts in a celebration of power and imagination.

The performance is a dizzying escape from reality. Kurios is a stunning spectacle, revealing a celebratory, steampunk-inspired universe where the unexpected lurks behind every corner. Spectators can expect a mix of breakneck acrobatics with a refreshing touch of poetry, beautiful music and the necessary humor. Since its world premiere in Montréal in 2014, Kurios has been performed more than 2,000 times in 30 cities. More than 4.5 million spectators admired the spectacle. 50 acrobats, actors, musicians and singers from 17 countries take part in the production.

Cirque du Soleil’s Kurios will play in Knokke-Heist until August 27. The tent show can be seen in Brussels from 7 September – cirquedusoleil.com.

Wendy Van Wanten poses with daughter Estelle and son Clément. And she has happy news to report about the latter: he has a lover. “He has been with a girl from Venezuela for four months. They’ve been in touch online for four years, but now she’s moved here and they’re moving in together next week. It is endearingly beautiful to see how they are in love. It’s also cool and she can cook well.”
