Cirque du Soleil - CORTEO
Corteo, Cirque du Soleil's most enchanting stage production, is back in Europe and heading to Rotterdam for the very first time, ready to enchant audiences. Corteo, which means "procession" in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade devised by a clown.
Theatrical world
The show brings together the passion of the actor with the elegance and strength of the acrobat to immerse the audience in a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity, located in a mysterious space between heaven and earth. The clown imagines his own funeral in a carnivalesque atmosphere, guarded by quietly caring angels. By contrasting the big with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection, the show emphasizes the clown's strength and vulnerability, as well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate the humanity that everyone holds within. The music becomes lyrical and playful, taking Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality.
