Product Description Bring home the magic, artistry and phenomenal music of Corteo, the latest Cirque du Soleil show. Corteo, which means 'cortege' in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. The show brings together the passion of the actor with the grace and power of the acrobat to plunge the audience into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth. The clown pictures his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere, watched over by quietly caring angels. Juxtaposing the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection, the show highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate the portion of humanity that is within each of us. The music, by turns lyrical and playful, carries Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality. From the Artist "To become immersed in this show, we needed music that could take the audience by the hand and lead it into a little dream, the dream of a clown who invents his death. Once the music came, it was easier to begin to dance." - Daniele Finzi Pasca, Creator and Director of Corteo "The crowd is gathering in the square. They've come from all over, each with their melodies and universe of sounds. Through their diversity, they celebrate the uniqueness of life. It was in this spirit that I approached the music for Corteo, imbuing it with the many colours of the world to illustrate the procession of peoples toward our common meeting place." - Benoit Groulx, Producer of the Corteo recording P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Artist ABOUT THE SHOW: Corteo, which means See more
