KURIOS-CABINET OF CURIOSITIES Launches Official Album in San Francisco
Last night marked the official album launch event for KURIOS-Cabinet of Curiosities, the soundtrack to Cirque du Soleil's latest Big Top show, currently playing in San Francisco through January 18, 2015. This soundtrack represents a thrilling new sound for the company. In line with the show's theme of time travel, the music of KURIOS-Cabinet Of Curiosities (composed by Raphael Beau with Bob & Bill) compels you to imagine musicians from jazz's peak era performing alongside contemporary DJs. The blending of vintage and modern styles in the music (a theme that extends to all facets of the show) serves to present jazz and swing in a way that has universal appeal. The intriguing songs complement the show's mission, which is to blur the lines of fantasy and reality, immersing the viewer in a mysterious and fascinating realm that disorients the senses and challenges perceptions.
BWW Reviews: KURIOS full of Curiosities with Cirque du Soleil
Cirque du Soleil has always been a cabinet full of curiosities, and the fact of the matter finally found its own title and concept in Kurios, the latest show to tour under the grand chapiteau. While the imagery of the production harkens back to previous LA Cirque show Iris and the robotics of BBC's Dr. Who, Cirque's Kurios finds incredible new ways to display its artistry and talent.
