Description: Enter the world of Cirque du Soleil for an up close and intimate look at their most provocative shows. Swing into a dreamlike realm in ‘Through the Masks of LUZIA’, where light quenches the spirit and rain soothes the soul. Dive into a hypnotic underwater universe in ‘DREAMS OF ‘O’’ where you are submerged into a universe full of daring dives, aerial stunts, and surreal amphibious characters. Challenge your visual perceptions and conceptions in ‘Inside the Box of KURIOS,’ as you find yourself in the midst of a fantastical world of acrobats, jugglers and steampunk mechanisms. Watch a battle unfold in the mythical world of ‘KÀ: The Battle Within,’ where two rival clans confront each other in a furious clash of vertiginous acrobatics and breathtaking combat. Cirque du Soleil VR blurs the line between stage and audience, bringing these fantastical experiences to life as you’ve never seen before.
Review: Cirque du Soleil is a free part of the complete ‘Cirque du Soleil’ VR experience which features 4 more sections that do cost £2.09 each. Those sections are Kurios, Dreams of “O”, KÀ and Luzia. You do get to review each one of them, but only a very short glimpse. Some people will find it pointless and some will love it. I am a fan of the show so of course I did appreciate it and found the video and sound quality to be pretty good. Some might see the DLC as far too expensive, but given the price of tickets for the real show, it is not so bad at all and is just like being in the front row. All I can tell you is my own opinion on this experience and I loved it.
