Review: Chinatown Crossings 2019 by Drama Box

A new cast member and a tighter script keeps Chinatown Crossings as rewatchable and poignant as ever. When we watched Chinatown Crossings last year, little did we expect it to end up becoming one of our favourite productions of 2018.

Ever inventive, Cirque du Soleil makes familiar acts feel fresh again with a kuriosly steampunk twist. Historically, cabinets of curiosities have acted as precursors to the modern museum – touring exhibitions of kooky, out of this world artefacts and curios inspiring wonder and joy in all its visitors. In much the same vein then, Cirque du Soleil’s Kurios: Cabinet of Curiosities is just as charming as its name … Continue reading Review: KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiousities by Cirque du Soleil
