The word Corteo is derived from the Italian word cortege, which means a joyous procession. Cirque do Soleil Corteo dives into the imagination of clown Mauro with a festive parade that celebrates his life. Come along as Mauro envisions his own burial taking place in a joyous carnival atmosphere surrounded by graceful angels. The show touches on the ups and downs of life by contrasting the silly with the tragic, the grand with the intimate, and exploring perfection versus imperfection. Through the clown’s strength, vulnerability, and generosity, this poetic and touching story helps us explore our own humanity and how it shapes our life experiences.
