“Corteo,” the acclaimed Cirque du Soleil production, returns to our arenas with its magic. The unique, cheerful procession of clowns and acrobats, staged by Daniele Finzi Pasca, will come to Leipzig, Mannheim, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Bremen in autumn 2024. A special feature is a revolving stage that divides the audience into two opposite areas, allowing the audience to experience the performance from the artists' perspective, a first for Cirque du Soleil.
Corteo, originally conceived as a tent show, is considered one of Cirque du Soleil's outstanding audience successes. Since its premiere, the show has thrilled more than eight million viewers in 19 countries on four continents. Corteo, which means “pageant” in Italian, refers to a joyful procession, a festive parade that takes place in the imagination of a clown. The show combines the passion of the actor with the grace and power of the acrobat. The audience enters an imaginary world full of fun and spontaneity in a magical place between heaven and earth.
The clown experiences the end of his time on earth in a carnival-like atmosphere, while compassionate angels watch over everything. Corteo contrasts the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic, and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection. This emphasizes the clown's strength and fragility in equal measure. His wisdom and kindness symbolize the humanity that lives in all of us. The music, alternately lyrical or playful, carries Corteo through a timeless celebration where illusion teases reality.
The stage concept immerses the audience in a theatrical atmosphere that has never been seen in this form at Cirque du Soleil arena shows. The Eiffel Tower-inspired curtains were hand-painted and give the stage a grandiose look. The buildings give the whole thing a poetic framework. A total of 51 acrobats, musicians, singers and actors from all over the world perform at Corteo.
