Kurios, the newest Cirque show is going to be playing the west coast this winter. In my quest to see EVERY Cirque show, I have seen an unlikely number of Cirque productions - five or six tent shows (in Vancouver, Seattle, and Montreal), and four of the eight shows permanently installed in Vegas - and Kurios is easily one of my very favourites, right up there with "O". (I saw it in Montreal during it's opening run while I was there for ReCon.) It's a clockwork time-travel, turn-of-the-century bit of deliciousness, dipped in retrofuturistic science fiction and with an undeniable City of the Lost Children vibe. Very brass, electricity, and polished wood, but bright and colourful and sweet.
It's playing Seattle from January 29th, 2015, to February 22nd and I would very much like to go with as many of you beautiful people as possible. (Unlike the majority of my road-trips, this is being proposed far in advance.) So, with that in mind, who would like to come with me? Let's plan!
