Cirque du Soleil Corteo is gearing up for its Dublin performances from July 6 to 10, promising beauty, magic and joy as it delights and amazes audiences with its mix of music, acrobatics and dramatic performances.
Corteo means "cortege" in Italian, which is a a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. The show sees a clown picture his own funeral, taking place in a carnival atmosphere and watched over by quietly caring angels.
The show incorporates awe-inspiring acrobatic performances, artists "flying all over the place" and beautiful music to highlight the clown's strength and fragility as well as his wisdom and kindness to "illustrate the portion of humanity that is within each of us".
