KURIOS is the brainchild of composer Raphaël Beau, a classically-trained
French composer who played in the independent band Spook & The Guay and has since
composed for the orchestra in the French musical score L’Âge d’or. He also created
cabaret-style movie soundtrack for the film Micmacs.

KURIOS represents a thrilling new sound for Cirque du Soleil.
In line with the show’s themes of time travel and the suspension of
time, the music of KURIOS compels you to imagine musicians from jazz’s
peak eraperforming alongside contemporary DJs. The blending of vintage
and modernstyles 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.
Inspired by electro-swing, jazz, and the sounds of the Big Band
Era, KURIOS represents an entirely fresh take on these beloved musical
genres. "Inverted World" starts off with a beautiful classical piano
and string duobefore diving into a 1920s influenced klezmer/banjo bluegrass
mashup with hints of jazz legend Django Reinhardt. The soundtrack continues
this classical/contemporary mix with the counterbalance of a piano solo with
theremin on the song “Departure.”Swing beats are placed front and center on
the fast-paced "Say That Thing","Go the We Bap", and "You Must Be Joking." All
of these songs move the story of KURIOS forward, creating an intricate and
rich sound that will resonate with music lovers everywhere.
