Storyline
The story of Corteo centers around Mauro, a clown who imagines his funeral taking place in a carnival-like atmosphere, observed by quiet, caring angels. The narrative contrasts the big with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic, and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection. It emphasizes the clown's strength and vulnerability, wisdom, and generosity, reflecting the facet of humanity that resides in each of us. Cirque du Soleil's Corteo takes us through a timeless celebration where illusion teases reality with playful, poetic, and mischievous music.

We saw Cirque du Solei before and we know they are high quality. Impressive costumes, nice music, etc. But this time they didn't riche their spected level. They offered a regular jonglieren show, with some regular dresses nothing that you can not have for half of the price.
