For the very first time, this renowned new circus troupe presented itself in the Czech Republic under the Big Top, which has risen in Letná Plain. During the performance, spectators have the opportunity to escape reality and enter a world of unlimited imagination, acrobatic mastery, and a musical-visual spectacle that belongs to the peaks of contemporary new circus. The grand premiere was attended by a number of famous guests, among them Anna Geislerová, Marta Jandová, Petr Janda, Tatiana Dyková and Vojtěch Dyk, Jenovéfa Boková, Adéla Gondíková, and many others.
“We are incredibly happy to have brought the big top of Cirque du Soleil to Prague for the first time, offering the Czech audience the chance to experience our performances in a completely new way. The atmosphere of the big top creates a unique connection between the audience and the stage, allowing them to admire acrobatic feats of world-class truly up close. We can't wait for the Czech audience to see one of our most successful shows right under this big top,” says Duncan Fisher, the show’s managing director.
Due to high demand, KURIOS is extending its stay in Prague at Letná Plain until October 12, 2025. Link to tickets HERE.
