Circus magic on high: Cirque du Soleil with a spectacular show!
An impressive Grand Chapiteau of the Cirque du Soleil will be erected in Vienna, which, with its height of 25 meters and space for around 2,600 spectators, will set an example for extraordinary entertainment. Over 60 employees managed to erect the huge tent on 1,000 steel tubes last weekend. Preparations included mapping the site and installing around 1,200 anchors to securely anchor the tent into the ground. David Constantineau, the site operations director, explained that each anchor is 1.5 meters long and is crucial to stability. Even before the actual performance begins, three acrobats should greet the guests from a lofty height with a musical performance, if the weather cooperates Small newspaper reported.
Fascinating performances and costumes
The show “Kurios” is inspired by the 16th century Chambers of Wonder, where collectors presented bizarre and unique objects from all over the world. Set designer Stéphane Roy describes the performance as an encounter between Jules Verne and Thomas Edison in an alternative reality. The highlights of the performance include a huge, mechanical hand made of fiberglass, which is operated by two artists, and a hot air balloon, the shell of which serves as a projection surface. More than 100 elaborate costumes, such as that of "Mr. Microcosmos" with a stomach weighing more than nine kilos, will also be presented. Another daring element is the number “Acro Netz”, a mixture of street style and trampoline technology that draws on the visions of Georges Méliès. The show premiered in Montreal in 2014 and has since had around 3,000 performances in 35 countries, like the HNA reported.
The premiere in Vienna promises to be a spectacular event where visitors will not only be able to watch, but also experience a creative and acrobatic show that leaves nothing to be desired. With acting creativity and technical sophistication, the “Kurios” experience is catapulted to heights and causes amazement and enthusiasm among the audience.
