In Cirque du Soleil’s latest production, audiences will discover a hidden world filled with crazy ideas and grand dreams.

“Kurios,” which opens at Marymoor Park near Redmond on Jan. 29, follows an inventor who defies the laws of time, space and dimension in order to reinvent everything around him. According to the show’s website, “the visible becomes invisible, perspectives are transformed, and the world is literally turned upside down.”

Karl L’Écuyer, a performer in the show, said the production premiered in April 2014, opening in Montreal and playing in Quebec City and Toronto before its run in San Francisco, which ended this week. He said it takes crews about a week — including two days for travel — to tear down the show in one location and set it up in a new one.

“Kurios” is scheduled at Marymoor through March 22. This run includes 32 additional performances that were added after the show received strong reviews during its San Francisco run.

L’Écuyer said there are about 46 artists in the show representing more than a dozen nationalities. He plays Mr. Microscosmos, one of the main characters in the show and an Acro Net artist. L’Écuyer said as one of the artists, he and his show mates perform acrobatics on a tightened trapeze net — similar to a large trampoline, measuring 30 feet by 40 feet and raised about 10 feet above the ground.

“For an acrobat, it’s paradise,” L’Écuyer said. “It’s like being 2 again and jumping on your parents’ king-sized bed.”

The 32-year-old Montreal native added that this is his favorite part of the show as he and the other acrobats can reach heights of up to 40-45 feet. He said he has never been on an apparatus that allowed him to fly so high, and some of his other acrobat friends have expressed their excitement and desire to test out the Acro Net for themselves when they learn about what he is doing.

L’Écuyer began trampolining when he was about 8 years old. He said when he was younger, he had tried various sports, but trampolining was the one he “got hooked on” because it was like “you’re flying.” He eventually joined and competed for the Canadian national trampoline team — all the while attending university and earning an engineering degree. Instead of pursuing a career in his field of study, he joined Cirque du Soleil.

L’Écuyer has been performing with the company for about seven years. His first show was with “OVO” and he traveled throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Australia while the production toured. “Kurios” is his second show with the Cirque du Soleil.

L’Écuyer, who has been with “Kurios” since its inception, said in his role as Mr. Microscosmos, part of his costume is used to conceal a small woman inside (above) and he really enjoys the moment she is revealed and seeing the audience’s reaction.

He describes the show as really colorful and people will be able to relate to the performers who will be set in a sort of dream world.

“Kurios” is directed by Michel Laprise, who has worked in theater for nine years in various roles including as an actor, director and artistic director. He joined Cirque du Soleil in 2000, spending five years as a talent scout before taking on the role of a special events designer. Laprise also collaborated with pop star Madonna in 2012, providing artistic direction for her Super Bowl XLVI halftime show.
