“KURIOS - Cabinet of Curiosities”, an internationally acclaimed show presented under the Big Top since 2014, follows the ‘Seeker,’ who becomes convinced that a fantastical, invisible dimension exists in another realm, in which all life’s most unbelievable possibilities are lying in wait. As this world merges with reality, a parade of otherworldly characters suddenly steps into the spotlight, bringing the Seeker’s imagined realm into being.

“At Fathom, we take great pride in being able to provide our audience with a wide range of content, from documentary to ballet, and now even the unique world of Cirque du Soleil,” said Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Events. “This partnership is an incredible opportunity, allowing us to bring the emotion, acrobatics and visual artistry of Cirque du Soleil straight to our viewers’ home theaters.”
