Cirque du Soleil: Corteo

  • Family and kids
  • Comedy

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.

This exceptional show, directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, features a double-sided stage where
audiences face each other.

Since its creation, Corteo show has amazed over 12 million spectators, in 30 countries, on four continents.
